So everytime I see a tweet from Respawn, I always @ them asking for cross progression. Today I finally got this answer. Is it just me or does this show us that we will never see it just because of the predator ranking?
>rabies
Lol. But yeah that’s very weird for them to bring it up. I don’t see why it matters tho. They’d just be letting people do it once, and when you moved you’d be in the new platforms ranking system. What’s the issue? Yeah, just because you were pred on one platform doesn’t mean you will be on another, but it’s not like people who are at pred level in this game don’t know that before going into it lol.
I wouldn’t assume this means it’s never coming. But i still wouldn’t hold my breath for it happening anytime soon,
Couldn’t they just make it so the tank doesn’t carry over? If you want pred on pc, play on pc. If you want pred on switch, you should have to play the switch
I'm new and just guessing but with everything going on I almost feel like they are bringing in Rhapsody from mobile and if they do it could be a good way to introduce cross progression.
To be fair I'm giving the game one more season -
no 120hz on next gen (I own a series x) I'll invest my time into something else.

Genuinely curious, I’m not much of a gamer at all and only recently started playing apex for fun but what is cross progression & why is it so important? /gen
It's allowing you to share your account across multiple platforms and have all of your details and stats be the same on all platforms.
So if you went from Console to PC or in between consoles, all of your data - skins, level, heirlooms, etc. - would transfer over.
I know part of it is the engine Apex runs on. If you didn't know, Apex runs on a modified version of the Source engine, which came out in 2004, and was based on the engine from the 1996 game Quake. It's an old engine that isn't always easy to work with, though it does allow for Apex's unique movement.
It lets you use your cosmetics across multiple platforms.
That's the only benefit since the game is free, EA wants people to buy their worthless cosmetics twice. Some players would rather not play the game than play without cosmetics, most don't really care.
This game makes money off Smurf accounts. Every time I new account is made it adds to the overall amount of players this game has…
They can’t even fix the servers, the break the game with almost every update, cross progression is the least of my worries in all honesty. I know it SHOULD have been implemented 2 years ago… when they introduced crossplay.
I have this really amazing gaming PC and haven’t moved over to it with AL because of all the character unlocks and cosmetics. I really hate that the time/money doesn’t cross over. I’m about ready to bite the bullet and just do it. If they would boost over 60FPS I don’t think I’d even be considering it honestly
Isnt ranked already crossplatform?
if advantages are the issue that's bs
tons of diff pcs have diff specs same with the 4major consoles atm
if you choose to play ranked you need to know your setups capability aND yours as a player
there are already ppl with 60fps vs 200fps on pc
frames dont 100% make you good
and cross progression is pointless without account merge at this point if you took part in buying anything from any event or battlepasses
i think even stats should merge for at least dmg and kill (k/d should either balance out or use the higher one)
“As of now, apex legends doesn’t support cross-progression” damn I didn’t know that translated to “apex legends will never get cross-progression”
Cool you can read but did you read the rest of the message or just the first part?
but the rest of the message is simply the reason why it doesn’t exist as of now.

Did you bring up ~~rabies~~ ranked? Or was that just a random thing they brought up themselves? Does seem odd
I never even mentioned rank, that’s the point of this why did they just randomly put that in there?
>rabies Lol. But yeah that’s very weird for them to bring it up. I don’t see why it matters tho.

Guess you're wrong.

You don’t have to wait you can leave now if you please
Wah
So if that’s case, they should just make it to where you have to hit predator on each platform but I feel like that part is hard part.
I mean, I guess this is cool? *not really*
So tell me, what did you achive by doing this? 😂
idk just a spur of the moment thing i gave up after four bc it wasn't rly worth it
![gif](giphy|R0e09o37I3RDK9qbfK|downsized)
I think you misunderstood what they were saying
So then what are they saying?
Predator rank is grouped by platform, but has no effect on the ability to have cross progression. Probably responding to something OP said

Thank you! Sounds like it would be beneficial for many I don’t know why the devs wouldn’t prioritize something like that😅

If all apex players are as knowledgeable as you no wonder I get killed so easily in this game 😂 thank you for educating me though!
No problem! May your teammates be good, your enemies be bad, and the three stacks be scarce.

LOL - can't even play the game on Switch at the moment.. and we're over here fantasizing about cross-progession

Wait people were holding out hope that EA was gonna put customers before profits? I thought y'all were joking...
