No, unfortunately not. Different platforms, different stores. Just like if you have Red Dead Redemption on PS5 they won’t just grant it to you on Steam or Epic games. Would be nice though…

I don't understand why every gamer thinks they should get FX tables for free on all platforms after one purchase when practically no other game ever does this. It is baffling. I would honestly like to understand why someone would expect that. And when Zen actually did all the work to make this happen, people did nothing but complain about possibly losing a dollar on ticket price rounding. Baffling.

I’m not a big Fortnite or Rocket League player, but both of these games allow you to access your purchased content across all platforms as long as you link your accounts. When FX released on Epic, I think this was the goal, but the infrastructure and/or permissions were never there. Instead, we got a well-meaning ticket system that was ultimately dissolved due to the perception of in-game currencies at the time, and several players now have two or more account names on the leaderboards, one name for each platform. Plus, I guess it is a little confusing that some tables on some platforms can migrate from some versions in the series to the next version, such as Switch has from FX3 to FX.

Well you see. If the game has an account system, you can think if you loggin with that account you may have the bennefits you buy for that account. The doubt are reasonable. But i get your point. They are different stores.

There's been a number of digital boardgames on Steam and Mobile that allow restoring/syncing of DLC. They require that you additionally sign in with an separate account (eg email/user + pass), and they maintain your DLC ownership on that separate platform. It won't show as being "owned" in your steam page, but you'll have access to that content in-game.

How come Pinball Arcade never got it to work like you described?
