The quick answer

Blizzard’s current overview advertises cross-play and progression across platforms. Account progress and party eligibility are separate questions; a cross-play feature does not prove that every competitive party or input combination is allowed.[1]

Understand the distinction

Our diagnostic recommendation is to check identity before changing links. A historical account-merge FAQ can explain the feature’s introduction, but it should not be used as the current rulebook for every matchmaking pool.[1]

Suggested checklist

  1. Confirm the account identity on the devices where you expect the same progress.[1]
  2. For party problems, read the current selected mode’s platform and input restrictions.[1]
  3. For missing progress, consult Blizzard account support before unlinking or replacing an account.[1]

Limits and next steps

No outdated console-versus-PC pool rule or unlimited account-merging promise is asserted here.[1]
