Cross-progression: what is it? We explain

The gaming scene is also increasingly interconnected - this applies not only to the players among themselves, but also to the compatible platforms. In this context, the term cross-progression has become increasingly important.

Progression everywhere: cross-progression is the same as cross-save.

For many years, gamers of all platforms have been demanding cross-play in their favorite titles. This request is becoming more and more common. Cross-progression is related to it.

What is cross-progression and why is it so convenient?

To understand cross-progression, there is no way around cross-play:

• Cross-play, as we all know, means that players of different platforms can play with each other.
• This can also be used by individual players to play a title on different platforms, for example on PC and Xbox Series X or on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4.
• At this point, cross-progression becomes important: The term is an equivalent to cross-save and stands for cross-platform progress of game saves.
• If you finish and save the game on one device, you can continue the save on another device right there.

This makes the gaming experience more flexible and takes into account the fact that many players do not always prefer the same platform, depending on the situation. Durch den Trend zu Cloud-Gaming-Diensten wird dies noch verstärkt; Cross-Progression wird damit in Zukunft eine noch größere Rolle einnehmen.
