Crossplay has finally arrive at Apex Legends, allowing players to squad up making use of their friends across PC, PS4, and Xbox One in cross-platform multiplayer. The Aftermarket update makes several changes and tweaks to Apex Legends, but crossplay is the most significant addition of these all. Still, players can experience an all-new LTM with today's update and obtain practical more than 20 new skins as a part of the Aftermarket Collection. It's worth noting that Apex Legends crossplay is technically still in beta, so you might encounter issues. Regardless, it will work fairly well even if you encounter several hiccups. Here's how to make use of crossplay in Apex Legends. How exactly to Crossplay in Apex Legends Crossplay is enabled by default on all platforms. To add a pal, visit the friends menu and select “Find Friend.” You will end up able to find a username on any platform and send a pal request. Once you've added friends and family, you can send a game invite in their mind from the friends menu. Cross-platform party invites can look as an in-game notification in the lobby. You'll manage to tell which platform friends and family are playing on by looking at the icon under their name on friends and family list. Xbox players have the Xbox logo, PC players have a computer and monitor, and PS4 players have an universal gamepad icon. Cross-platform parties may use in-game voice chat. You can't play one system's party chat functionality with players on another platform. You can't use PlayStation party chat with friends on PC or Xbox, for example. Also, crossplay doesn't mean cross-progression. Your stats and items are stuck on your platform of choice. You can't just hop between systems and take all your gear with you like you can in Fortnite. Cross-progression is likely to be discussed at a later date, almost certainly when Apex Legends hits Steam later this year. How Cross-Platform Matchmaking Works Prior to the crossplay update, you would only be matched against other players on your specific platform. Now, things operate a little differently. All console players will now be matched against other console players automatically, meaning PlayStation and Xbox players is likely to be put into the same matches. PC players will continue steadily to only be matched with other PC players. This divide is to ensure PC players using a keyboard and mouse aren't put in the same lobbies as console players with controllers.apex crossplay However, if a PS4 or Xbox One player parties up with a PC player, they will be placed into PC matches. This ensures that PC players aren't brought into console lobbies. If anyone in your crossplay party is on PC, your squad is likely to be placed into PC matches. If you want to disable crossplay in Apex Legends, you can do so from the game's settings menu. It's enabled by default, but you can turn fully off the Cross-Platform beta if you so choose. This will probably make your queue times incredibly long, however, since many players will more than likely keep the setting on by default. EA recommends leaving crossplay fired up to find the best experience.
