Xbox In-Game Chat

Can you hear me? Does anyone at EA/Respawn want to fix this? Switching mics, consoles, deleting MAC addresses, throwing the headset, crying, etc. None of it works. It’d be great to be able to have working game chat. If you can read, you’d see that there’s quite a few of us with this issue. Do better.

    Talking as one of the big grinders on Xbox for a legend not having game chat has been screwing me over so much. I am the #1 Loba on Xbox for kills and about 75% of the people I play with are on Playstation and I can't communicate with them at all and because of that pretty much none of them want to play since we can't talk. I can't grind ranked at the maximum capacity either because of the same issue. PLEASE HELP US. XBOX PLAYERS ARE SUFFERING.

  • Xbox Series S mic not working in apex legends game chat, I’ve searched thoroughly and there does not seem to be a fix and respawn has not commented on it.

    restarting my console or MAC address fixes it for maybe one game.

    everything is up to date, I’ve switched to ipv6, I’ve setup a dmz.

    Do anyone have an actual solution to make it work, it started with the recent update in March.

  • @CrisisSlays There hasn’t been any recent feedback from any staff member about this. This has nothing to do with your network/ip settings. It’s the recent next gen update that screwed all of the series s and x players.
  • Game chat has not been working for months, I have tried everything. Also uninstalling the game multiple times. Would really like some help on getting this fixed as I would like to speak to my friends on PS and PC.

  • You can't when your trying to play with someone on a different console 

  • Converted from PC to Xbox a couple of months ago. Pretty much only play Apex. So invested in Xbox and Wireless Razer headset. Well voicehcat is not worknig and hasn't been working for me. Party-chat seems to work, but we play cross-platform, so it doesnt help me. 

    Contacted support, and they are aware of he problem and working on a fix.

    They also told me to post on forum, as more threads will put more pressure on developing-so thats it. 

    Recommend everybody who's having problems to report.

  • It is worth noting that this bug has been resolved as part of the Season 14 patch, which contained improvements and fixes to VoIP for Xbox users.
