Cross progression, defined as the ability to keep a user’s progress and purchases intact across multiple platforms, has been introduced to Realm Royale with the new Shadowfall game update as announced via press release by Hi-Rez Studios. The developer had confirmed in late 2018 its intention to push cross play and cross progression features to all of its games, from Smite to Paladins and Realm Royale itself, the Battle Royale spin-off of Paladins we covered earlier on Wccftech.
There’s only one caveat. The game is out on PC (on both Steam and Discord), PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but neither cross progression nor cross play will be presently available on Sony’s console due to their infamous policy on the matter. In fact, Hi-Rez CEO and President Stewart Chisam went as far as calling out Sony because they haven’t let any other games except Fortnite and Rocket League in their cross play beta program. Hopefully that changes in the future as other developers have requested the same of Sony.
