Cross progression

Phero

Hello,

can anyone tell me how far the point for cross progression from PC to Playstation is? Thx a lot

BHVR still can’t confirm if cross Progression for Sony or Microsoft platforms will ever come.

i would assume IF it comes in the 5th year they would announce it during the anniversary stream on the 25th May. But there is really no guarantee to hear anything there, just my hopes..

Thx dude, i hope its earlyer than the next years. Dont wanna Grind billions of BP again on my PS5...

Im assuming theyll announce it during the 5th anniversary if they got a yes to increase the hype. If not i have no idea when or if were getting it.

The Epic/Apple lawsuit has shed some light on the cross-progression issue, and it doesn’t make me confident that there will ever be cross-progression between PlayStation and other platforms, sadly.

Essentially, Sony requires publishers to pay them money if people spend more on their account via other platforms than they do on PlayStation. So if Behaviour allow cross-progression they’re risking getting stuck with fees from Sony every month; I suppose they have to weigh up the costs and benefits to see if it’s worth it.

Sucks, but that’s Sony for ya.

I mean its also good because if sony loses they pretty much have to give in entirely. (The sony lawsuit)

Isn’t the Sony lawsuit about its digital sales of games? I didn’t think that would affect cross-progression, I’m by no means an expert though.

Isnt all ingame progress property of game studio? Sure Sony gets some % from the sales, but can they even lock that progress on their platform?

I mean, BHVR can just copy paste my characters, skins, levels and points and put it on my new PC account if they really want and disabling my old account forever?

Or its not how it works? Since my progress is on Playstation, its also property of Playstation? They don't own the game tho

Yeah but that can always be brought up as well since the infos out there right now.

No, but Sony owns the data from the game on their consoles.

people who would like to take advantage of the offer for a cross progression would certainly pay for it. if sony will now say that they lose money because a dlc is skipped, you can counteract that an account transfer as an example would cost 20 euros which is then divided between BHV and Sony. Wow also takes money for such an achievement
