© EAApex Legends arrives on Switch tomorrow and we were lucky enough to sit down with the team behind the port recently.
One of the questions that many fans wanted to answer about cross-progression – a question of understanding, given that many people are already playing the game on other platforms and want to continue that progress on Switch.
Unfortunately, although crossover is accepted, switch owners who already play Apex Legends elsewhere will have to start again when it arrives on the Nintendo console tomorrow – unless they want to wait a long time.
When asked about cross-progression, Respawn’s Chad Grenier told us:
It’s planned, but I think we’re a way out of being able to offer that. I really want to be a player, so I hear what our fans have to say and I totally agree with them. We are working to try to achieve this, it is a complex challenge of several existing accounts for different users that we have to solve or combine, there are legal and contractual things that we have to navigate with the purchase on other platforms and with the respective transfer some technical challenges. So it’s not something we can simply activate, but we work to have it, and the team is passionate about delivering it at some point.
