For years, Apex Legends gamers have been asking for cross-progression, as the Battle Royale is now available on everything from Steam to Nintendo Switch, and many players own both PC and console.
As good news to its gaming community, Apex Legends finally got cross-progression as part of its 19th season. Developer Respawn Entertainment has revealed how it will operate after it was released on October 31st. Cross-progression will allow the players to access their progression data, cosmetics, and currency from a single EA account across all platforms.

This implies that if you have an Xbox or PlayStation account, you will be able to use it on the PC version, and vice versa.
If you have various levels of progress on different platforms, they will be combined into a single account. Respawn will generate this new account depending on the player’s primary platform. This will be the one on which they have attained the greatest level. All other accounts’ stats and progress will be lost.

Cross-progression is required in Apex Legends for all players who play on several platforms. As Season 19 has now been released, you can enroll in cross-progression by following these steps:

Your items, accomplishments, and progress from multiple platforms will be synced with your main account now that the feature has been enabled and confirmed.
The majority of cosmetic stuff and premium currency accumulated across different platforms will be consolidated into this new single account, but there are some exceptions. Apex Coins purchased on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, for example, will be combined into a single wallet. However, Apex Coins purchased on Switch will remain exclusive to that platform.
