Cross Play Option Not Visible in Apex Settings on PC

I am trying to check if I have Cross Play enabled on Apex so I can play with a friend who is on console and I am on PC. When I go onto the settings in game, there is no option listed called " Cross Platform Play" for me to enable or disable. I have no idea how to turn it on or check that it is turned on! Does anyone know what to do?

    Hi @9ca37e898eecd76b,

    If you're playing on PC this will automatically be enabled. The option to disable it would only be there for players on PlayStation, Xbox, or Switch.

    If you're having trouble syncing up with your friend to play, they'll need to check for that setting if they're on a console.

    I would also check through the link below to make sure you've both checked any necessary privacy settings to locate each other in-game if you're running into any trouble from there.

    Good day,

    Why do pc players not have the option not to play with console players?  There must be a reason for this, and I think a lot of pc players would like to have this option.

    Whose idea was to not give PC users a choice to turn crossplay off. I would rather wait 30 min for a game than be beamed by a sweaty controller player with aim assist.
