The First Descendant launched today for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Given its free-to-play and multiplayer structure, The First Descendant would benefit from mechanics such as cross-play and cross-progression with different platforms. Cross-play lets players play with and against each other, regardless if they’re on PC, PlayStation, or Xbox. Cross-progression lets players carry over progress from one platform to the other.
The good news is that The First Descendant supports both cross-play and cross-progression between PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. However, players must sign up for a Nexon account in order to use cross-progression. Here are step-by-step instructions on how to activate cross-save.
- Go to the Nexon account linking page
- Click on the icon of the platform you’re playing on (Steam, PlayStation, Xbox)
- You’ll redirected to the login page for that platform and now enter your credentials
- When you’re logged in, authorize the link between your game account and platform
- Follow the rest of the instructions and complete the authorization process
The First Descendant has had a strong start so far, with over 200,000 concurrent players today on Steam, peaking at #5 on the Steam’s most played games list. The Destiny-like game follows the Descendants who have special powers to fight against the Vulgus, a race of aliens seeking the destruction of the fictional world of Ingris.
