We got any solid info on cross platform

Seriously considering moving to PlayStation, been switching back and forward now want to get rid of my Xbox or PS4.

If cross plat hits Apex PlayStation wins, if not its Xbox to play with friends so any info would be really appreciated, thanks.

  • It might come, but don't hold your breath...

    Although cross-play is unavailable at launch, Respawn told Eurogamer it "plans to allow players to play with their friends on other platforms". Cross-progress and cross-purchases, however, will never be possible in Apex Legends, "due to the way systems were set up early on" which "can't [be] reconciled after the fact".

  • @Fr3dY2 Read that a few times when searching for info but doesn't really say anything apart from maybe, I'm optimistic it will sooner rather than later but who knows.

    @SpyrosFPS Yeah and if they can do it being pretty inexperienced in console development surely EA have the know how.

    Pubg Fortnite and Apex is all I play, 2 have cross play one to go then can decide what console based on preference instead of who plays it.

    As long cross platform between console, I'm fine with that.

    If they cross platform with PC, I will quit playing Apex.

    Maybe it could be left as an option, so you decide if you wanna stick to PC or want to be mixed with console players.

    I think it's not fair to have mouse/keyboard & gamepad/aim-assist players together, but Fortnite does already so... if it's good for the business and players could decide, maybe it's not a bad idea - not really sure about it 😕

  • @Fr3dY2 I think as long as it recognized input and allowed console players to play in PC lobbies with friends if they use k&m then its fine, only as option though by default its gotta be Xbox cross with PS4 whilst using controller.

    @SpyrosFPS Its the future man and I like it, could even see me buying a Nintendo one day if it becomes the norm, travelling and playing your fave game with friends will change that 7 hour unbearable journey into a joy.
