Transfer of console-created accounts suspended until further notice

This is clearly an act that, in pursuit of profit, somewhat violates the spirit of the contract. And yet you say, “OK, this is just a temporary business activity. There’s nothing unacceptable about it. Although we sold it on the PC, it is still exclusive.” I think I understand where their confidence lies in ignoring a group of players who urgently need solutions and leaving them alone. No matter how indifferent they are, there will be people like you who step forward to rationalize their actions.

Everyone who is here. There is a feedback form that Gaijin just posted. Make sure to leave your feedback to make the game better for everyone and if you want to see console transfers to come back its our best shot if we include that in there.

Where can you find that because they deserve some hard feedback about this situation.

The survey for the past year (June-June) can be found here: How Was the Year in War Thunder: Rate the New Additions :)

done

Was a easy survey was mostly the answer: Console transfers need to be a priority and not adding new stuff.
I must say i loved the extra spawn tickets and the crash gives kills i give you guys that.

Oh, i’m not part of the dev team, i have no influence over development and no contact with the developers. Game Masters mostly handle in-game chat and name bans, other than that i’m at the same level as any other player. :)

I’m confused, was this feature just to be able to play with you psn account on pc or completly unlink your account from psn and be able to use gaijin market and other pc features? Could someone let me know?

yeah if you get unlink you are just normal pc player you get pacs on pc and gm. Now you just have no pacs on pc no gm and no perks from console on pc like aim asist etc (thats good but still you only lose)

I see, so a lot of us on this are playing with our psn created accounts on pc and gaijin has shut off the feature to make our accounts have pc created account features. Is this correct?

What truly confuses me is that the transfer service appears to have been shut down permanently—three full years of complete radio silence is more than enough to reach that conclusion, leaving the waiting time effectively infinite. Why can’t they simply release an official announcement stating: “This service has been permanently terminated. You may create new accounts to start over. No further updates will be provided; this is the final notice.”

Truly dedicated players would register new PC accounts and begin anew, generating fresh revenue for Gaijin. Those unwilling to invest more money and time would either leave or keep playing their existing accounts casually, ceasing complaints in forums and sparing Gaijin’s staff constant harassment. Surely this is far better than keeping things stuck in this perpetual state of limbo?

Because that would mean its a waste of time to start it on the consoles. Better to keep it in the middle and keep everyone in the LIMBOOOOO 👻👻👻

Dear Snail,

It’s getting closer and closer to 3 years without being able to transfer accounts to pc. I’ve played this game for a long time and sadly didn’t have a pc when needing/wanting to transfer. It would be amazing if we could actually hear something about it as it would make a lot of us happier if we could transfer our accounts. I’ve spent a handful of money personally on this game and can’t let my console account go because of it.

In short we would love to hear some news about it. We know it may not be the easiest thing to do backend wise, but it sure would make us even happier, and I’m sure my fellow console account snail lovers would agree.

Please just open it one last time for us out here who couldn’t make it to the last one, it would mean the most to us. I’ve had this account since 2019, but on console for the longest time and want to transfer it over.

Thanks,
Snail Lover

You can actually play on PC, you just won’t have access to the store or the marketplace.

If you use your live login on your PC, and access the MS Store with it, you can install War Thunder from there and you’ll be on PC.

You’d just want to hold your console ‘just in case’ maybe, or at least have complete control over the email it’s linked to.
