If you’ve ever asked, “Is Apex Legends cross platform?”, and wondered whether you can squad up with your friends across PlayStation, Xbox, PC, or even Nintendo Switch, good news, Apex Legends is fully cross platform! No matter what system you play on, you can team up, drop into the arena, and chase that victory together.

Let’s break it all down.

|What Platforms Support Crossplay in Apex Legends?

Apex Legends supports crossplay across:

This means if you’re on Playstation and your friend is on PC, you can still play together. Same goes for Xbox, Switch, everyone can party up. It’s smooth, it’s easy, and it definitely helps keep matches fast and full.

|How to Enable (or Disable) Crossplay

The best part?Crossplay is turned on by default, you don’t have to do anything extra.

But if you want to double-check:

  1. Open Apex Legends.

  2. Head into Settings > Gameplay tab.

  3. Scroll down to Cross Platform Play and make sure it’s enabled.

And if you don’t want to play with people from other platforms (for whatever reason), you can toggle it off there too. Just know: matchmaking might take a lot longer if you turn it off, since you’re only searching for players on your specific system.

|How Does Crossplay Matchmaking Work?

Here’s the key thing about Apex crossplay:

  • Console players (PlayStation, Xbox, Switch) usually match against each other.

  • PC players compete with other PC players.

  • If you team up with friends on different platforms (console + PC), the game places your squad in PC lobbies.

Basically, Respawn wants to keep things fair. PC players with mouse-and-keyboard have different speed and accuracy than controller users, so it tries to balance the competition as much as possible.

|What about cross progression?

Right now, cross-progression isn’t live yet.Meaning, your stats, skins, and unlocked legends stay locked to the platform you’re playing on. Respawn has confirmed they’re working on full cross-progression, and it’s expected to roll out sometime in 2025.

So yeah, in the future you’ll be able to jump from PC to console (or vice versa) without losing your hard earned heirlooms.

|New Update

The Apex Legends Prodigy Anthem trailer dropped, and it seriously got me hyped. The energy is off the charts, Octane, Loba, Valkyrie, and the others look cooler than ever with the fast cuts and the high intensity music. I caught a glimpse of Kuben Blisk too, which makes me think some big story twists are coming. There’s no major gameplay reveals yet, but honestly, after that trailer, I’m even more excited to see what’s coming next for Apex. Do check out the trailer above.

If you’re looking to squad up across platforms in Apex Legends, you’re good to go. Crossplay is live, it’s smooth, and it’s one of the best things to happen to the game.Grab your friends, pick your mains, and dominate the Outlands, no matter where you’re playing from.
