Didn't know where to put this but was just curious if Switch players are gonna be pooled in with other console players as well. Not asking if i can play with other platform but if i solo queue on Switch, am I only playing strictly Switch players? Or am I also gonna be pooled in with Xbox PS4 and PC players? I am really excited to play Apex on the Switch but i feel like everyone else already has had so much time playing this game.

@UpnAwayNewtie In theory it probably should just be all of the Switch players looped in together but I've never used a switch to be able to comment on gameplay or how it's gonna be utilised on Apex. E.g if it's gonna have stronger aim assist or whatever. If it's no different then playing on an Xbox or PlayStation then I don't see why they shouldn't be in the same lobby. In reality though I can imagine them all being together just to keeping queue times lower.

@GH0STEDbyME But I like out of context things... ☹️https://img.memecdn.com/anime-taken-out-of-context_fb_6873487.jpghttps://m.imgur.com/OR1sE6y?rTeamplay will be same... roughly but it’ll likely be capped at 30fps on switch and if they are using joycons, fogetaboutit. Only with pro controller will they actually be good.

@Koochi-Q Oh my.....my eyes! MY EYES!!!

@Koochi-Q Don't paraphrase it out of context xD I also assume that all Switch players are going to be children/ teenagers but still. I was saying that if the gameplay is the same then they should. I was born in xbox 360 game chat I'm immune to the insults of switch players xDYou're right tho. No serious player would touch Apex on Switch in their right mind.

@GH0STEDbyMEHave you played Apex on Xbox One S?Xbox One S ranges between 640p and 720p and sometimes with fps drops.It's a blurry mess you can't even use Wingman with red dot to hit far targets.Even with x2 on every weapon and especially snipers it's a bit hard to aim because of low resolution and if its a sniper battle you are clearly at a disadvantage.I believe Xbox One is worse but fortunately they don't sell it anymore.Imagine Switch 720p and i'm sure it'll be lower resolution and frames.Now let's try Ranked with 2 Switch teammates 🙂They already put me with 2 Playstation players most of the time while i'm on Xbox.They should put crossplay option on/off and if i can't find players then i would enable it.or if i could just disable Switch crossplay.@Koochi-Q I haven't played any game on Switch but joycons might be a problem too.30 fps? Ranked match is already lost.

Will Nintendo Switch Players be pooled in with Xbox/PS4?

@UpnAwayNewtie I suspect it will be the same scenario as other consoles: you will be matched with other consoles and will only queue in PC lobbies if someone in your party is a PC player.

Xbox One S ranges between 640p and 720p and sometimes with fps drops.
It's a blurry mess you can't even use Wingman with red dot to hit far targets.
Even with x2 on every weapon and especially snipers it's a bit hard to aim because of low resolution and if its a sniper battle you are clearly at a disadvantage.
I believe Xbox One is worse but fortunately they don't sell it anymore.
Imagine Switch 720p and i'm sure it'll be lower resolution and frames.

Now let's try Ranked with 2 Switch teammates 🙂
They already put me with 2 Playstation players most of the time while i'm on Xbox.
They should put crossplay option on/off and if i can't find players then i would enable it.
or if i could just disable Switch crossplay.

@SpyrosFPS That was the point I was making xD. Joycons are bad for competitive games xD.

I think it’ll be 30 fps max and that would be in docked mode xD. Handheld mode? 24Hz xD.

I played Spellbreak. Most of the time I got switch teammates... Well I wouldn’t say I was extremely efficient at the game but high dmg/kill count & wins were every match guaranteed... my teammates tho? Mostly dead after 1 encounter...

@SpyrosFPS Nope. I played on launch xbox and then upgraded to a one X. We still don't have the option to turn off crossplay do we? (without having to go into xbox privacy settings I mean).

@Koochi-Q Surely they can't limit it to 30 fps. If they wanna slaughter them that badly then they should just put them in with pc players xD

@GH0STEDbyME If Fortnite with the cartoony style graphics can’t do 60fps on Switch I would be shocked if Apex ran above 30 on Switch. As an above poster said it couldn’t even handle 60 on Xbox One. So I am curious to see how this will affect crossplay and whether quality of teammates will be seriously affected
