Is Apex Legends Crossplay?

Apex Legends supports crossplay in all game modes including Battle Royale, Ranked, Mixtape, and limited-time modes. To play with friends across platforms, you need to add them either via their EA Public ID in the Friends menu or on Steam. Voice chat works across all platforms, but using Discord is recommended as the vocal chat is not the best. Console players can disable crossplay if they prefer console-only lobbies, but PC players cannot disable crossplay: this feature is to ensure healthy matchmaking.

Apex Legends is an online-only game, requiring a constant internet connection to play. There is no offline mode or single-player campaign available.

Apex Legends does not support local co-op or split-screen play. All multiplayer interactions must be done online, as the game was designed strictly for online, single-user-per-device play, meaning each player must have their own console/PC and account.

The primary concern with Apex crossplay is the advantage PC players have with higher frame rates and mouse/keyboard precision. Console players get aim assist to help balance this, but the gap still exists, especially after the recent nerfs to said configuration. Console players teaming up with PC players will also be placed into PC lobbies where they may face skilled keyboard and mouse users. Disabling crossplay on console can result in longer queue times.

Yes, PlayStation and Xbox players can play together. Add them as friends using their EA Public ID in the Friends menu, and you can team up across platforms.

Yes, an EA Account is required to use crossplay features and to play with friends across different platforms. All your progress is tied to your EA Account.

Not if you play solo. Solo console players match against other console players. However, if you party up with a PC friend, your entire squad will be placed in PC lobbies.
