Are you an avid Apex Legends player who has accounts on multiple platforms? If so, you’ll be happy to know that with the Season 19 update, Apex Legends has finally introduced cross-progression. This means that you can now merge all your accounts from PlayStation, Xbox, PC, or Switch into one, allowing you to access your progress and items across all platforms. Here’s how to merge accounts in Apex Legends.
How to merge accounts for Cross Progression in Apex Legends
As you start the game, you will notice an in-game message regarding the accounts merging process. Follow the instructions on the screen to proceed. While merging the accounts, you will get to choose your main account. This account will be considered the primary one, and all the progress and items from your other accounts will be merged into it. Once you have done so, your skins, heirlooms, and currency will be combined into a single account.
- Note: Any account created after Oct 26th for the same EA account cannot be merged.
