Apex Legends players have been reporting a new bug in the game where all of their progress has been totally reset, which is obviously a bit concerning. Respawn Entertainment is aware of the issue, however, and the developer released a statement revealing that there are currently two bugs related to progress in the game: one seems to be an issue for players that have changed the email address associated with their EA account while the other is a bug related to the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions of the game. A lot of fans are understandably concerned about their previous in-game progress, and some are wondering if progress earned while playing now will count when the issue is fixed.

To clarify: The PS4 account progress bug is a similar but separate issue, and doesn’t appear to be connected to the email/account-linking issue. We’re looking into it!

Everything was set to zero. My skins are untouched but this is unfair. What is being done to fix this? Are our accounts going to go back to what they were? Iโve spent money on this game. Something needs to be done.
