The latest development in the gaming world brings exciting news for fans of the renowned stealth series. A long-awaited feature that was missing from previous iterations is now on its way, promising a smoother experience across multiple platforms.
Previously, the title did not support a system that unified progress across different devices. This meant that any progress made on a computer, for example, could not be transferred to another system, a limitation that persisted since the franchise's earlier releases. Now, developers have announced that this functionality will be introduced very soon, allowing seamless play on more than ten different platforms.
Set to launch on February 3, this update will let players carry over vital gameplay progress no matter where the game is enjoyed. The consolidation works by linking data through your personal account with the developer, ensuring that the following elements can move with you:
- Experience points and player level
- Challenges and location mastery
- Unlocks and inventory
- Achievements and trophies
- Progress in Freelancer Mode
- Campaign story progression
However, game ownership itself, any downloadable content along with its specific unlocks, will not be transferrable under this new system. The update is not designed to replicate an all-access feature for every paid element.
One important consideration is that the update links your progress data across a single account profile. This means only the primary set of data is synchronized. Players who wish to access their older, non-primary saves can still do so by disabling the cross-progression feature.
In addition to the new functionality, an update to the account management system will also be rolled out, making it accessible both via web browsers and mobile devices. This new step aims to improve the overall continuity and ease of managing game progress across different platforms.
