The cross progression is a function that allows linking the accounts of the players on all the platforms in such a way that the progress of the account is saved on all platforms. For example, in a game with cross progression, if a player rises rank and wins a new cosmetic on the PC, then his PlayStation account would also automatically earn that range and that aspect because the two accounts are linked by the owner.

As of season 10, Apex Legends has no cross progression, which means that players who enjoy the game on different platforms have no way to keep their accounts consisting on all platforms.
