Cross Progression

Does anyone know if there is going to be any sort of cross progression coming? I play on Xbox and I have a good PC I would like to play DBD on. I have almost all of the DLC on Xbox and about 10 days of game time. If there is anyone that knows or could find out what is keeping them from cross progression I would love to know. At the very least I feel as though they should make the bloodpoints you earn or will earn available across all platforms for DBD. If I could get on my PC and have the 11,000,000 bloodpoints available to spend that I have earned on my Xbox then that would be pretty good incentive to buy the DLC to be honest. I just can't bring myself to spend 10 full in game days on a game that is identical just to be in the exact same spot that I am now on a different platform.. You know? For those of you that have P3 everything I doubt switching the platform you play on has even crossed your mind because you would have to start from the beginning and it would take 2-3 thousand game hours to achieve the same progress. Anyone else feel the same?

    There have been rumblings about it, but that's about it.

    I'd be more inclined to play on he comfort of my couch on my PS4, or while I'm sitting on the toilet using my Switch if there was cross progression.

    I agree completely. Haven't they done something where users had lost progress during an update and they refunded them the bloodpoints? I feel like it wouldn't be that much different then making BP the one thing that is shared across platforms. Something like that would make me happy. That way at the very least the TIME you have spent in the game isn't wasted.

    I think cross progression / cross-play will be something they'll announce during the Year 5 Livestream. It's been in two seperate surveys now, there's been some naughty PC players who have been able to force themselves onto the PS4 servers and played along side console players.

    Only a matter of time I think.

    I didn't know that.. Interesting. TBH I could care less about cross play. It would be really cool to play with my console buddies while I am on PC, but it isn't something I am avid about.

    It is the situation where you just get home from work and you want to play some DBD and you only have like 2 or 3 hours to play. You could

    A. Play a game where you can get 60,000 bp guaranteed as a killer with bbq, Or get into a survivor game with 4 teir 3 perks and an item

    B. Play a game where you have no choice but to have 1 tier one perk and won't have any teachables whatsoever. Net 32,000 bp on killer or survivor max.

    IMO the game is way better on PC. I hit great skill checks way more, graphics are better, framerates are wayy better, etc. But I have just already put too much time in on Xbox to switch.
