Cross Progression
I really want to know, is cross progression available on the switch version of the game?

There is cross progression available between Steam, Epic and (as long as it’s still there) Stadia.
Switch has been confirmed to get it as well, though they ran into ‚technical Issues‘ and couldn’t say when it might get resolved

No. Currently progress is tied within platform, ie ps4>ps5 keep everything. Haven't heard anything recently about them doing cross progression anytime soon, but lots of people are asking for it.

Sadly no. I really wish it was. I want my Switch progress on my PS5

One of the many promises/ideas that got scrapped along the way.

Yeah, Steam and Epic are both PC. That's within platform. (Stadia's already dead)
Same thing if you go from XB1 to XBseries.
As for the Switch, that hit a brick wall awhile back and I wouldn't expect it anytime soon. I hope I'm wrong, but it doesn't look good.

No, not the same thing as they still belong to different parties.
XBox is Microsoft regardless of console, same with Sony and PlayStation. But for Epic and Steam, that’s different, they are literally competitors.

I think you're not understanding me. Platform means the device you play on. PC, Xbox, Playstation, and Switch are devices you play on. You can carry progress within platforms. Cross progression means carrying progress between platforms.
While Steam and Epic are competitors, they run on the same platform.
But you can't carry Steam progress over to Xbox because they're different platforms.

What Mooks is said is true - there is no cross progression on pc available with the windows store version.
The technical issue is a matter of transferring DLC purchases across different accounts.

But nobody was talking about windows store. (People actually use that? lol) The PC side of things gets more complicated because you have different entities that have to come to an agreement and have compatible specs. That doesn't change my original point that, as of now, shared progression ONLY happens within the same platform. Maybe someday it will change, but that is currently how it works.

But that’s not how it currently works. As OrangeBear said (and yes there are people using it) Windows Store is also on PC but as it’s a different platform and platform holder it’s not included in cross progression.
Stadia on the other hand is another platform as PC and currently cross progression is possible on there with Steam and Epic.
once switch joins, there will also be cross Progression between switch and some pc versions while other consoles won’t be included still.

Well this is a fun game of semantics, why not....
I never said ALL launchers within a platform offer shared progression. I said currently it is ONLY available within platform.
Stadia is dead. They're shutting down the service and offering full refunds for all games and products. The Switch deal has stalled. It may be coming at some point, but not today.
As of this moment, you can only get shared progression within the same platforms. Individual PC launchers are launchers, not platforms....even if people misuse the word platform.

Nope, Stadia is still there until mid January iirc and cross progression is still available there. It’s not solely on PC.
And if you want to be fully pedantic, consoles are also essentially PCs..
Cross progression is not tied within platform, sorry but you are wrong.
