Cross-Progression

A game with cross-progression lets a player continue using the same levels, characters, inventory, or achievements across more than one platform. Usually this requires linking each platform profile to a central publisher account. What transfers can differ: gameplay progress may synchronize while premium currency, trophies, subscriptions, or platform-exclusive items remain locked to their original ecosystem. Cross-save is often used as a synonym, although it can refer more narrowly to save files. Cross-progression does not imply cross-play; a title can synchronize progress without letting users on different platforms play together.
