Cross-Progression Is Coming to PC

[p]During previous playtests, questions about cross-progression on PC were among the hottest, and we're happy to announce this feature will be available for testing during the next Beta! You'll be able to use your existing console or mobile account to continue your journey in World of Warships: Legends on Steam.[/p]

[h3]Account Linking Details[/h3]
[p]This Beta takes place on the Live Servers. There will be no wipe, and all progress will carry over to full release. When launching the Steam client for the first time, you will be prompted to either:[/p]
  • Log in with your existing console or mobile account that already has progress.
  • Create a new Steam account with fresh progress.

[h3]Choose carefully[/h3]
[p]❗If you begin with a new Steam account and do not link your existing console or mobile account on first login, you will not be able to link any prior progress at a later point.
