Pc, console cross play?

I got friends on pc and I'm on PS4 so it would be great if we could play together. I think that it should be that when your just using a console or just using pc there should not cross play matchmaking but if you team up with a friend on another platform there is cross, kind of the way fortnite did it. 

  • Cross platform play is on its way.  Unfortunately, stats won't be able to transfer over.  So for example: When cross play is made available and i wanted to fire Apex Legends up on my PC, I'll have to start with all my stats from zero and no unlocks - nothing from my Xbox Gamertag will transfer over.

    But it's coming!

  • At lv 94 I've only encountered maybe 4 cheaters, but I'm almost certain 2 of them were cheating. I don't think its as rampant in the west as it sounds like it is in the asia market. I also don't really want to be playing with or against console players, I can't see the movement being anywhere near as good on console as it is on PC so that's a huge disadvantage for console. Plus PC aim vs console aim. I don't care what you console players say, you can't aim better/faster than the average PC player controllers just aren't as precise. Do console players really want to play against the current state of the wingman? It's a problem that anyone with a brain has acknowledged since its first week, including every single top streamer.

    They have always been there. People have modded controllers that give them aim bot and wall hacks just the same as PC on console. It has been a thing for years. Console players just don't want to believe it. They are so ignorant.

    @-KG-Kajautus i play on pc as well but there are far more noobs on pc than console.. sgood amount of console players will dominate some mouse and keyboard players.. lets not get all high and mighty
  • The average FPS player on PC is going to be better than the average on console, especially when you're playing a game that is so fast paced with lots of mobility. You're going to tell me that you can sprint, slide, jump, snap your aim 150 degrees, take a couple shots at someone, hit them, and turn back around the way you were going before you hit the ground on console? The amount of players that can consistently do that on console is going to be extremely low in comparison. Or if you happen to have 3 enemies in front of you, quickly snap your aim directly onto them with precision and land chest + headshots on all of them with whatever rifle you're using? Again, significantly lower player count on console vs pc that can do that. Controllers just aren't as quick and precise as M+K, that's not to say it can't be done but it's not going to be done as often. It's not just 'hurr durr pc master race console plebs', it's that the controls are in favor of the pc players. Keep in mind this game also has a subtle aim assist on console, for a reason.

  • That's kinda besides the point. Of course a good player on a pad will win over a bad player on mouse. The real question is, how a pad fares against mouse if both players are of equal skill.

    I mean, perhaps I misunderstood your point, if I have, correct me. But, basically, you are admitting there's a handicap, but it will be offset in SOME CASES where the one with that handicap is far better than the one without it. I mean, that's true, but that's never a point to be made. I am sure a blind Michael Jordan would still beat me at basketball, but that shouldn't mean that blind people should be in the same basketball game as the people who can see.

  • I agree, I have a group of friends that have like people 10 in the group, but we all play on different platforms so its hard to play we are limited to the friends that play on the desired platform that we are on.

  • I agree. Plz, add cross-platform play. for everyone who doesn't want to perhaps thair could be the choice to play cross-platform or on only your platform. that way people can play with each other but also on their own consoles if they don't want any pc snipers or something.
