Lag spikes and random game freezing on PS5

So i've recently switched from playing on a PC to a PS5 and I wanted to try apex on it, for the first few days the ping was fine but since yesterday my game kept lag spiking so bad, mostly when I start shooting another person or they shoot me, my game just freezes for around a second then goes back (also looking at the kill-cams in the mixtape gamemodes the other person freezes at the same time I do when i get killed). The ping while that is happening sky-rockets to like 500 then goes back to around 30 (my normal ping) I didn't have this issue on PC so i don't see why this would be happening, my internet and everything else is good, tried reinstalling apex on the PS5, reset my internet and everything but nothing helped.

    Hi there, 

    Are you using a wired connection or Wi-Fi? If possible, try connecting via ethernet cable, as that should help with connection stability.
