  Am I missing something? The link only talks about account migration and the rewards that I mentioned in my previous comment. There’s no mention of crossplay.

  And yeah, obviously you would need to link your PS or Xbox account to use account migration. That’s how that feature works. Cyberpunk and Witcher are singleplayer games, crossplay wouldn’t apply anyway.

    At the bottom of the article, under “Can I opt out?”:

    If you choose to opt out, please note that on March 5th, 2024 you will lose access to Cross Progression, My Rewards, and RED Forums, and all connected data will be permanently deleted.

    Again, it’s not a deal breaker for me, and not nearly as bad as needing an account to even play, but I felt it was at least worth bringing up.

      Cross progression isn’t cross play. Cross progression is when you can take a save on what device and continue it on another one, like from PlayStation to Xbox or PC.

      And, obviously, that could only work by linking accounts. There’s literally no other way that could work.
