Can you make the cross plate-forme, please?

Hello, 

My name is Arthur and i'm from Reunion island (French department).

I Love Apex Legends, it's one of my favorite game, and i play on my PS4.

My problem is that it can be very annoying to play "alone" or with people you don't know or just with people without a mic. 

Many of my friends play on PC and it would be nice to play with them.

I started to play rank mode even if i have like 200ms in game, and it's really cool but as i can't play with my friends, i'm "stuck" in silver rank .

Can you please make the cross plate-forme?

Thank you for your attention,

Arthur

    I would say post at reddit so devs can see it. https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/

    Anaswes HQ is run by admins for the site, not Respawn. Think of it like a couple of people go about reading some posts, and they take the things they like and pass it on. If i know EA mods, most won't relay crossplay to the dev team.

    Crossplay should be added as it was already talked about from Respawn, but they could just be low on hands to add it because of how much staff is working on Star Wars. I hear it takes a lot of work for adding crossplay, not sure.

    My opinion, crossplay will get added no matter if people like it or not. EA wants to compete with Fortnite, and it will never do it without this feature, No way around it really. I would keep asking for this feature on Reddit in the daily post page above and it should take hold the more people ask for it.

    Note* Some will complain about keyboard & mouse on console as crossplay would allow those devices. Fortnite has been doing okay and it allows these devices even on console.

    I'd love cross play between consoles but I'm definitely opposed to bringing PC to the table until they really get a grip on hackers, if ever.  This is purely selfishly speaking.  I don't want to have to deal with cheaters.

    I think it was you who mentioned in another thread that more people in the pool reporting cheaters would be a good thing, but if they're relying on reporting to be helpful for their machine learning solution, I don't think a big pool of console players would help.  There would be more false reports of cheaters than viable results provided by console players - because the vast majority of them aren't used to seeing keyboard and mouse quickflicks.

    You've already got people on here saying they report everyone with more than 5k kills - imagine if you put a pool of MILLIONS of players into the reporting mix who had no idea what they were looking for unless they also play PC.

    It might water down the cheaters for PC players, and they're free to want that - but for console users there is absolutely no benefit to bringing PC players into the mix.

    It would happen, false reporting would be a small issue, but does it out-weigh the benefits of joining two communities together, yes. Massively yes. The extra issue i foresee would be it might make finding the cheaters harder, because of the vast amounts of added players.

    EPIC makes a ton off of Fortnite,but they still have cheaters just like most pc games. That's one reason why Easy Anti Cheat will never fix Apex's issues of cheaters, if Epic can't even do it, how could they do anything different for Apex?, plus the fact they are direct competitors with EA, doesn't help.

    Who ever thought of using Easy Anti Cheat as Apex's anti cheat software was smoking something. It's like Micrososft asking Sony to help make Xbox One better, meanwhile Sony has the PS4 to look after. My point with all of this is, Epic won't ever do a better job on Apex than they do on Fortnite, just nope.


    Creative design shoudln't be heldback because a small group of people don't follow the rules. I say, deal with them by publicly bashing them on socal media for their wrong ways, but never limit of creative ideas of the whole community because of them, why let the cheaters win?

    Video games are just that, games, let people play together, work out issues later.
