No, you cannot. Both consoles are completely different platforms both in terms of physical disc copies, online community hubs and (especially) distribution services. You cannot use an Xbox account with a PlayStation as they are both entirely different.
No, you cannot transfer between current gen consoles on GTA V. You can only transfer from previous generations, ie. xbox 360 to ps4. If you wanted to transfer from a current generation console like Xbox One the only option would be to transfer to PC.
I saw that crossprogress was already available so I tried to connect my steam account to my xbox account to link them but I had the accounts on different EA accounts, so I unlinked them from the original accounts and linked them to a new one but I don't see any of the two progresses.
I recently saw that combining accounts can take time so I have two questions.
Can what I did work and should I wait?
If it doesn't work can I get my xbox progress back, I wouldn't want to lose it since I had purchases and 800+ hours of gameplay.
I also tried to move my xbox account to the EA account where the steam account was but I couldn't because I had another xbox account that I don't remember.
I know I probably screwed up, but I was too excited and didn't think clearly.
when you unlink a platform account from your EA account, you will lose most of your progress and content from your Apex account - this is specifically pointed out in the article regarding unlinking platform accounts.
You will have to connect them to your original accounts, if you want your progress back, for which you will need to contact EA Support as you cannot unlink accounts yourself within the next 6 months.
And no, what you were thinking of doing will not work, as any Apex account made past the 20th of October will not be merged (and you don't have your progress on this account now anyway, so there's nothing to merge).
Would this work if both accounts are older than than the said date, I have an older Xbox account with progress I want crossed over to my Steam account that I've been using for a few years, using the Steam account as the "Primary." What would be the best way to go about this?
@EA_Pythia Why is this case? I have an EA account made in 2010 because some game required me to make one and linked to my Xbox account and when I started playing Apex on Xbox it automatically used that one.
Please elaborate clearly. Why are we not able to merge two EA accounts? Just let us update the primary emails and merge said account but they have to have been made & have purchases in the same region. Plenty of games and websites let you re-link/change to a different account/email at least 1 time.
it is possible to merge two EA accounts, however, this will delete progresses, etc. of one account. Merging two EA accounts basically means that the games themselves will be transferred, but only the primary EA account will keep its progresses and items as it's only possible to transfer the games themselves to create one account, and it's not possible to move progress from one EA account to another. This also applies to relinking platform accounts, as progress is specific to the EA account, not the platform account.
In itself, you're not supposed to have more than one EA account, as this is something many cheaters use to get around bans. While it's possible to accidentally make a second account, it's recommended to merge these as early as possible after noticing to prevent this loss of progress.
The point of cross progression is not to get progress accounts completely different accounts, but rather, across different platforms - this is the definition of cross progression. The platforms still have to be connected to the same account. This is not EA-specific, but a practice other gaming companies also have, such as Ubisoft.
Thats not true. EA support won't help you. I had the same issue. When I heard about cross progression, I unlinked my Xbox account from its original EA account and linked it to my PC account hoping they would merge, but instead I lost all my progress. I reached out to customer support because as you mentioned, you can't unlink the account until 6 months after. However, customer support said they couldn't help me unlink the account before the 6 months. They just basically told me to wait the 6 months.
