Transfer of console-created accounts suspended until further notice

Have the developers considered offering this as a paid service? Many players, including myself, would be willing to pay to resolve an issue that has persisted for over two years.

The reasons players want account transfers instead of starting from scratch on PC are clear: the loss of significant time investment and progress, as well as access to previously unlocked limited vehicles. Personally, I avoid purchasing packs through the Sony platform because premium time does not carry over to PC, which limits its value. This raises a broader concern, has there been any evaluation of potential lost revenue from players who choose not to buy packs or promotions due to these platform restrictions (only pc promos)?

firstly I would like to start off by stating I am a old player of warthunder and with this I have seen many rise and falls within the game, there is always a trend. typically or most common the falls happen due to demand and lack of action within the demand, we ask simply please bring back these account transfers. not only would gaijin make more money as more players will have access to these markets but also it will be a heavy weight off your backs and a deep relief for those who have waited years for this ,I do hope you choose to pursue bring back this feature as many off us are starting to get fed up of waiting on you guys. you release many good updates some with downfalls but that’s to be expected I mean nothings perfect after all, but with each new update it seems to be as though you forget that a large number of us within YOUR player base are still stuck with such a simple request. you have the money ,the people and space to do so the profit would be huge so why not follow through with demand and give us players what we seek? please whether it be for the money or not bring it back we’ve waited far too long and to no avail.

so I urge you to finally do what needs to be done and allow us our transfers ,you risk losing many of your supporters if no information about this or action takes place.
thanks

This wouldnt be so bad if Gaijin was actually making better changes to the game.
Train car physics? Procedural trees for better tree destruction? Who is Gaijin getting info from to think this is what the player want?
Where is the different game modes? Where are the better maps? Where are the changes to GB and AB that everyone here has been requesting?
If this wasnt keeping me from playing crossout and star conflict I wouldnt care to play WT ever again.

I really wish people would give 2sec of thought before asking to pay for what should, and could easily, be a free service.
Even if Gaijin did offer it for pay, Its doubtful they could legally as they would have to have notified us that the service was paid before we linked our accounts and got trapped into this.
At the end of the day all this service provides is the setup of a new account and the copy of data. All of which could easily be automated.

i wonder if the devs even realise that this (tooootally real) backlog thats took 2+ years to complete is going to cause a huge wave of new requests that will cause a factual backlog. the time spent “completing” this backlog will pale in comparision if they re-open this

assuming they have any plans to and that the backlog is factual and not an excuse, they shot themselves in the foot here

and thats exactly why transfers are closed, they make more money from whales who decide to bite the bullet and start from scratch and re-buy everything

its a simple role/hiarchy toggle to block users from making rainbow text, this forum is built off of Discourse (the forum backend, not the arguements that happened here)

This really is not fair anymore, i have been asking them for several years now to switch my account from ps that i created more then 10 years ago!

How long will I have to wait for them to decide to open the account transfer again? I want to be able to buy packages…

Let’s make this a real concern! Console accounts are extremely limited.

Is there any chance or forecast of opening the transfer? Am I going to have to keep coming in here every day just to see that nothing has changed?

What if you guys just add the feature?? Nobody would have a problem with that you guys would have less work replying to us and maybe you could automate it I mean we live in the year 2026

Not possible apparently, gaijin is still adament on their bs excuse that the company that pulls in tens of millions of usd annually cant make such a thing happen, that they dont have time or resources

They dont lack the overall resources, they just dont care enough to do anything. We’ll get our usual bi-weekly/monthly “nothing new to report” from the guys here on the forum (not thier fault though that gaijin doesnt care about us and is lazy) for the next year yet again and we’ll continue to have our accounts stuck in limbo because gaijin simply doesnt care. They didnt care 2+ years ago when they closed the feature, and they dont care now

I honestly dont think its ever coming back, I’d perfer if gaijin just outright said the feature is cancelled instead of giving us false hope keeping us on a line for almost 3 years

Anybody have any idea when they are going to open up account transfers again? I’ve been waiting for 3 years lol

I’m sorry man but this is insane that you guys can’t figure out a way to transfer accounts efficiently. Us players have spent so much money on this game only to be locked out of many of the features just because we set our accounts up on console?? It’s just crazy

It’s crazy they can’t find a way to make alternatives for features console can’t have (for whatever reason that may be), but PC does. The market is easily the biggest example of this, and why many people transfer accounts. If they actually put some effort into making things equal for PC and console, this feature wouldn’t even be needed.

Yup exactly. If the transfer process is so difficult then figure out a way for console to have access to the marketplace. So frustrating

Well we are waiting… It’s really amazing that a developer is gatekeeping the game for the playerbase tbh.

I believe the reason why they can’t is because of Microsoft and Sony not allowing the marketplace.

So why doesn’t Gaijin try to find an alternative? Here is a suggestion for one, it’s not perfect in my opinion but it’s a hell a lot better than what Gaijin is actively trying to do, which is nothing.

Spoiler

Alternative of missing console marketplace.
