Is there any update on cross-save/save transfer capabilities?

Last I heard DE was "working on it" about a year ago. They've also done it before in the past with the one-time transfers from Xbox to PC. What is preventing them from allowing it again? 

I keep seeing reasons such as "Microsoft/Sony won't let them" or "they won't do it again" but is there any official evidence of these? AFAIK, it is not out of the question from DE's position. I know this gets asked a lot, but other games including competitors all managed to offer it. Seems like not focusing on such an option is only hurting DE. I've even got console friends that would be willing to pay for such an option, and I know of former console players who are willing to play and spend again should they be able to have their progress on PC.

 

Has there been any new information regarding possible cross-save or save transfer from DE aside from "working on it"?

okay 1) you dont need to be a baby about it, and 2) DE said themselves it is something they were working on during a devstream, so "there will never be one" sounds like false information.

Players pointed out a serios problem with the cross save, namely that you can buy plat on discount on pc, then use that to buy tennogen or frames on the cheap on ps4. Also you will be able to shop primed disappointment around the various platforms. 

They would need to at the very least take a major financial hit to get everyone on the same platinum page, then do a lot of work to synch up the baro primed disappointment as well. 

I really want it to happen since I want to be able to play on switch, but not in 10 million years though would I ever even think of starting over. The new player experience is that bad.

Nope. I believe earlier in the year Steve mentioned on a stream that they had one of the devs actively looking into it. Likely that got put on the back burner with covid.

When there's more info they'll tell us, but don't expect it anytime soon.

Its on the to do list with many other things i wouldn't hold my breathe for cross save.  Theres alo t of things to juggle with it.  Exclusive skins, tennogen, plat, and patch technicalities just to name a few.

They allowed transfers from pc to consoles way back when for a limited time because new consoles launched with warframe.

Maybe with the new consoles we'll see something.  But i doubt the consoles want folks to migrate to pc.  Plus i heard the new consoles will be backeards compatible.

Ah those are all very solid points. That's all understandable for cross-save or cross-play, but it would be nice if they could at least offer another one-way transfer for those who may wish to continue the game on PC from here on out. And yeah, maybe with the new consoles we may see something? Fingers crossed but as another said, it does seem like something not to hold one's breath on, unfortunately.

If it were to happen, the soonest we'd see it is the next generation of consoles if that allows them to redo their contracts because DE has said more than once that their current contracts with Sony and Microsoft absolutely prohibit cross-console and Console to PC migration. But like Kakurine2 said, I wouldn't hold your breath. Lame Games managing to swing cross-console stuff for Fartnite did not ignite the cross-platform revolution people wanted it to and that was likely a one off concession due to market pressure that other games simply don't have rather than an industry changing event.
