Yep, you'll be able to continue to play Apex on Xbox Series X/S and PS5 as noted.
We don't have any info on changes/enhancements at this time, but we'll of course let folks know when we do have anything.
Also if it isn't ready does that mean you need to use last gen controllers or will new ones work?

I don't have anything specific about Apex, but the following line on a PS5 article suggests you can use the new pad or your old DS4.
"Compatible controllers on PS5 consoles
- The DualSense™ wireless controller, DUALSHOCK™4 wireless controller and PlayStation officially licensed third-party gamepad controllers will work on PS5 consoles with supported PS4 games. "
This article has a bunch of backwards compatibility info for PS5 in general, if anyone didn't see it: https://www.playstation.com/en-ie/get-help/help-library/apps---features/playstation-apps---features/backward-compatibility-ps4-games-on-ps5/

@CAGOA34For PS5 games you need ps5 controller. For ps4 games you need ps4 controllers. Thats the brunt of it. But you might use ps5 controllers to play supported ps4 games tho.

Yea, good work Sony 😉BUT I highly doubt Apex will feature better game processing when next gen is here. Going the way they’re going, even tho next gen has been announced even before Apex launched, it’ll likely get a game buff supporting increased frame rate, rendering or whatever after 6 months XD
- hayhor5 years agoHero@Koochi-Q 6 months is fine for me. I figure that's when I'll be able to actually buy a ps5. The current preorder situation is a disaster. First they sold out in a minute. Then amazon sent a note to people saying they might not get their consoles that day. Then gamestop did a 2nd preorder day. Then gamestop told people they may not get their console the day of release.

Exactly, my wallet is ready but new console is hiding like a rat, can't find it.
