Apex Legends cross-progression is still coming, but it's "gnarly as hell" to solve

Quite a while ago, Respawn announced it had plans for both Apex Legends cross-play and cross-progression in the works. While cross-play is now enabled for the battle royale, fans have been left in the dark about the progress relating to cross-progression - until now.
