What happens when the bug occurs? No friends show up on friends list except a few I added through the ingame friends list from Xbox and one or two on PlayStation. I’m missing like 80% of the players who are online playing, it don’t show them online on Apex.

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Get on the PS5 version and look at your friends list between the actual PS interface and the Apex friends list.
Most of my friends who are online playing so not show up on the in-game friends list. This is an issue for the PS5 upgrade. The few that do show up where randoms I added through the in-game friends feature but I did not add them on my actual Sony Playstation friends list.
