Respawn might be planning to add Apex Legends cross-progression after all Respawn Entertainment[jwplayer ePrNLj8A]Respawn may actually be on the verge of adding cross-progression to Apex Legends alongside the planned Steam update, despite dubbing the feature \u201cimpossible\u201d during the title\u2019s launch all the way back in February 2019. Apex fans have basically resigned themselves to the fact cross-progression is a pipe-dream. At launch, then-lead producer Drew McCoy dubbed the feature \u201cimpossible,\u201d in part because of \u201cthe way systems were set up early on.\u201d As it turns out, that pipe-dream may not be so impossible after all. Renowned Apex Legends dataminer Shrugtal appears to have uncovered code strings for a cross-progression system that Respawn is testing behind-the-scenes. The uncovered backend code \u2014 proxy\/commerce_gateway\/valuetransfer\/transfer?personaId=%s&platform=%s&accountId=%s_%s&offferId=%s&locale=%s \u2014 appears as a run of transfer values, which Shrugtal suggested is the basis for \u201csome kind of cross-progression system\u201d currently undergoing dev testing. These strings suggest Apex Legends accounts could soon be able to transfer \u2018value\u2019 (skins, charms, and cosmetics) or even account \u2018entitlements\u2019 (starter pack access, for example) from profile to profile. The related segment begins at 2:28 in the video below. It\u2019s certainly interesting to hear Respawn is at least toying with a cross-progression system in their dev labs. Outside of crossplay \u2014 which is now finally being added to the game \u2014 it\u2019s one of Apex\u2019s most highly-requested features. If Respawn does indeed add it to the battle royale in an upcoming update, Apex Legends fans will have to choose which console they want to use as their \u201cmain\u201d account. That profile will then share its collection with all connected accounts. Other blockbuster titles, including Fortnite, Rocket League, Minecraft, and recently Destiny 2, have all flicked the switch on cross-progression in the past few years. The moves came after Sony backflipped on their cross-play policy. Whether or not the newly-discovered code strings lead to cross-progression being bundled in with the crossplay update or not will likely be confirmed in the next few weeks, according to reports. Apex Legends is expected to drop crossplay as part of the upcoming \u2018Aftermarket\u2019 collection event. That event has been penciled in for a Tuesday, Sep. 15 release date behind the scenes, with datamined leaks backing up that drop-date. Don\u2019t forget, crossplay isn\u2019t the only thing Respawn has planned for Apex this year either. The character-based battle royale will finally make its long-awaited debut on Valve\u2019s Steam game browser. Apex\u2019s platform move will happen this month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
