It seems we’ll be waiting a little longer for cross-progression to finally be implemented in Apex Legends, as Respawn has confirmed the feature will not arrive until next year.
Director of communications Ryan K. Rigney explained in a Reddit AMA that the feature was “gnarly as hell in terms of being a problem to solve,” citing technical and logistical difficulties as being two reasons for the long wait.
“It’s not only that you have to solve the technical challenge of merging existing accounts, but there are also legal and contractual issues to navigate with purchasing on other platforms,” he explained. “Different regions have different laws. It’s a mess. But we’re working on it, and we’re committed to delivering it.”
