澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Rivals has 🤡taken the gaming world by storm, and while it does have cross-play, cross-progression remains elusive due to "a lot of platform-specific rules."

In an interview with , creative director Guangyun Chen says: "Cross progre൲ssion involves a lot of platform-specific rules, we’re still looking at it and how to solve it. Once the team is ready, once we’ve figured it out, we’ll be sharing to everyone and players will be the first to know."

As a free-to-play game, it's easy to just download Marvel Rivals on yoඣur PC and consoles, but it's annoying that you won't then have access to all your skins and unlocks across accounts. While it may seem like a no-brainer to us that we should just be able to link to a single account and have everything synced up, platform politics are far from simple.

One potential hiccup is the cut digital storefronts take when we buy cosmetics and other in-game purchases. Sony takes 30% of every purchase made via PSN, and it even  over it. 

Marvel Rivals developer NetEase is likely working on some deal that can appease Steam, EGS, PSN, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft. You'd think the fact that cross-progression would make players happy would be enough, but all these companie꧃s are businesses first and foremost, so they're not just going🍬 to leave money on the table. Since games like Fortnite can have cross-progression, we know it is possible.

You can all get a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:free Jeff the Land Shark spray if you read the Marvel Rivals digꦏital comic, though, so go🐈 ahead and claim that on your preferred platform.
