Plus Seer is due some balance tweaks in a future patch
Apex Legendshas had cross-platform playsince October last year, letting players group up with their pals regardless of whether they’re playing on console or PC. Unfortunately, it still doesn’t have cross-progression, meaning that once you start an account on a platform, your progress is stuck there. Good news on that front though: during a Reddit Q&A over the weekend, Respawn Entertainment assured players cross-platform progression will arrive next year (they just have to sort out some complications first).
“Cross-progression is gnarly as hell in terms of being a problem to solve,“said director of communications Ryan K. Rigney. “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. Different regions have different laws. It’s a mess. But we’re working on it, and we’re committed to delivering it.”

Cross-platform progression would be very nice indeed. For players who like to swap between their PCs and consoles, it means you get to keep all your skins and continue levelling up the same battle pass regardless of where you’re playing.
“He’s brought a lot of new gameplay elements to the game (HP bars, interrupt) which has driven a lot of discussion with players, which is great to see,“Nordin said. “With that being said it is probably a bit too strong at the moment and will receive some balance updates in an upcoming patch.”
If you’ve yet to get in on the Apex action this season, a bunch of new things have been added to play around with. A new LMG, new character and lotsa changes to World’s Edge are the highlights, and you can read about the rest in theApex Legends Emergence patch notes.
