© EAApex Legends arrives at Switch tomorrow and we were lucky enough to sit with the team behind the harbor recently.
One of the questions that many fans have wanted to answer related to cross progression: an understandable request as many people are already playing the game on other platforms and want to continue this progress on Switch.
Unfortunately, while cross-gaming is supported, Switch owners who are already playing Apex Legends elsewhere will have to start over when it arrives on Nintendo’s console tomorrow, unless they like a long wait.
When asked about cross progression, Chapa Grenier of Respawn told us:
It’s planned, but I think we’re a way out for not being able to offer it. I love it very much as a player myself, so I feel what our fans are saying and I totally agree with them. We are working to try to make this happen, it is a complex challenge of several existing accounts for various users that we have to solve or combine, there are legal and contractual things to navigate with the purchase on other platforms and have these changes and also some challenges technicians. So it’s not just something we can activate, but we’re working to have it and the team is passionate about delivering it at some point.
