Cross-Progression/Save When?

Currently, cross-progression only exists between Stadia and PC, however I feel as if cross-progression between all platforms is really needed. Especially when many people are basically left to completely ditch their old accounts to swap to a platform they prefer and it really sucks to see. (I am soon going to be one of those people unfortunately as I swap to PC from Console.)

I also feel as if seeing a way to merge existing progress between accounts you own would be nice, considering the new prestige system allows people to easily gain progress towards prestige of all characters when merging accounts. Have an account with a P1 Meg, but your original account had a P3 Meg? Well you could add the prestige levels to get a P4 Meg. And if you have a character unlocked that you didnt have before, you could keep the character. Bought the same character twice? You can get some of the Iridescent Shards refunded. Etc.

I feel as if with the current systems in the game, there is no better time than now to introduce something like this, especially when the systems BHVR have created greatly favor a system like this.

    Never, I play PS4 and been waiting for years. The simple truth is there is to much money to be made in people rebuying on new platform.

    Well I can say I will never switch platform unless cross-progression is added. I have played too much.

    Last we heard on the topic, it's basically out of their hands- they're waiting on/are roadblocked by something on the platform's ends, not theirs.

    So, who knows when!

    Quite honestly, if I could move my gave from PS4 to Switch I would. I would totally just lay in the bathtub leveling up. XD

    Unfortunately we do not have any update with regards to cross progression, other than the platforms that are already included.

    Yeah, I'd love to start playing more on PC, but sadly like 90% of my metaphorical eggs are in my Playstation basket.

    But I am not holding my breath here, as it seems like there are too many things that need to happen that BHVR doesn't control. And I think if Sony/MS were motivated to do their part in this, it would have happened by now.

    Microsoft has repeatedly said they want all games to be "play anywhere" games. So the fact that DbD can't even be played on the same account for Game Pass for Xbox and Game Pass for PC proves this is a BHVR issue. Even brand new indie games have cross-save and cross-progression between the two.

    They can exclude paid currencies from cross-progression if the money is an issue. And you raise a good point about that. Sony didn't allow it until recently. Using Fortnite as an example, V-Bucks purchased on any platform did not appear on PlayStation, and PlayStation-purchased V-Bucks didn't appear elsewhere. This is how Nintendo Switch works for games like Fall Guys, where the Show-Bucks don't cross over to other platforms and vice-versa. Bungie allows you to project one Destiny 2 account across other platforms while preserving individual account progress should you ever delink. Other games allow you to merge, but some have carved out where select content cannot merge due to platform policies. Bvhr has a lot of options. I think the best one is the Fall Guys and Overwatch method, where you link your accounts to one master account, and everything stores on that account.

    Is it still being worked on though? I do not want to be left in the dark for a really long time and I dont want to restart and lose everything Ive gotten up until this point.

    I'd be happy if I could just migrate from PC game pass to Steam. They're both PC. Steam just frequently has better deals.

    OW2s cross progression is the only reason I touched that game. BHVR is crazy to keep sleeping on it because a lot of ppl wont open their wallets until they do.
