Apex Legends Cross-Play: How to Play with Friends on Different Platforms

Apex Legends isn’t just about being the last squad standing—it’s about teamwork, strategy, and the thrill of playing with friends. But what if your friends are playing on a different platform? No worries—cross-play is here to save the day!

What Is Cross-Play in Apex Legends?

Cross-play is a feature that lets you team up with players across different platforms. Whether you're on PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, or PC (Steam or EA App), you can squad up without limitations. No more excuses about having the “wrong console!”

How to Enable Cross-Play in Apex Legends

Good news: cross-play is enabled by default in Apex Legends. That means you don’t need to tweak any settings to start playing with your friends across platforms.

Note for Xbox Users: Make sure that cross-platform play is also enabled in your Xbox system settings.

How to Add Cross-Platform Friends

Here’s how to find and add friends from other platforms:

1. Go to the Friends Menu.

2. Click "Find Friend".

3. Enter your friend’s in-game name (regardless of platform).

4. Send a friend request.

5. Your friend will receive a notification and can accept or decline.

Once you're friends, you can invite them to your party and even use in-game voice chat together!

Cross-Platform Matchmaking Explained

Here's how matchmaking works in Apex Legends cross-play:

• Console vs Console: Players on PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch are matched together.

• PC vs PC: PC players (Steam & EA App) are matched exclusively with other PC users.

• Mixed Party (Console + PC): The squad is placed in PC lobbies to ensure competitive balance.

Want to stick to your own platform? You can disable cross-play in the settings. Just be ready for longer queue times.
