Can we merge leaderboards from different Titles into one?

Hello there,

We are starting to use PlayFab to manage leaderboards in our game and we were planning to do so cross-platform, by using the same leaderboards on multiple platforms.

But we just found out that we are going to have multiple region-specific versions for PS4 (in consequence, multiple PlayFab Titles).

Our question would be, can we link or merge leaderboards from different Titles? Would it be possible to have the leaderboards on both Titles merged into one leaderboard (this way we would compare their score among all players)?

It is not natively supported by PlayFab, because the statistics(or any players related data) cannot directly import to another title by the developer. However there are few workarounds, here is one I’d suggest.

I assume your game is using different titles, but in the same studio. Because Master Player account and Player Data (Publisher) is shared among titles in the same studio, you can create a procedure to help players migrate the statistics. The whole process will be: 1. Store the statistics in Player Read-Only/Internal Data (publisher); 2. Read the Data in the new title and update Statistics for this player. Please note that this process should be done on an external secure server or on Cloud Script and we also recommend to let the players choose to migrate the data, because it will take long to process for all players in 2 titles and there are always inactive players.
