Nexon Games' The First Descendant allows crossplay along with cross-progression. These features also enable the cross-save functionality, and here's all you need to know about them:

What is cross-save in The First Descendant?

Cross-save is a feature that is closely tied to cross-progression, and it allows you to retain your characters, levels, items, and overall progression when you play from a different device.

Similarly, any progress that you make on a different device is reflected on all of the devices that you might want to play the game on.

How to cross-save in The First Descendant?

Cross-saving in The First Descendant is possible because of the cross-progression feature, and it is achieved via the Nexon Account. Here are the steps:

First, you will have to link all your platforms to the official Nexon website.
You can link your accounts on all the platforms that the game is available on - PC, PS5, and Xbox.

Once you have linked your accounts, the cross-save feature will automatically activate.

Can you merge accounts in The First Descendant?

Although you can switch platforms in The First Descendant, it does not exactly merge all of your accounts. Rather, you can consider it similar to selecting which save file to play the game from.

You will have only one primary account based on your playtime and progress, and your progress gets overwritten every time you play the game on a different platform. Thanks to The First Descendant's cross-save feature, this overwrite does not bring you back to square one in the game but adds to your existing progress.
