Matchmaking list take forever 10- 20 mins

I am a player from India. I started playing APEX just 2 days ago. And one of the first and most-annoying problem that I noticed was the matchmaking time which generally ranged between 15-25 minutes for a match which lasted only 5-10 minutes for a newbie like me. I hope you do something about it. I love the game so far...but I am constantly discouraged to play it again due to such long matchmaking times.

Mine is even worse. it is showing 57 minutes to match make. I can not wait that long for a game that lasts around 5 - 10 minutes max omg. I am on a 1Gbs fibre connection. I tried changing servers and nothing worked. I am in South Africa and i think this game is dead now. I uninstalled it just now. The long matchmaking times just left a bad taste and i will reinstall it later to see if it improves. Such a shame because the game seemed promising.

I've notice this problem occurs for new player because of the massive gap in level from veteran players from day one to the new players now. Finding the skill level to fill this gap is gonna take a while 

I'm having the same issue rn and every day on pc
what do i do?

It's happening to me right now. I am in Australia.

New update installed this morning.

@EA_Atic  yes I'm a new player.

Cannot get into either duos or trios after a period of greater than 10 minutes I get kicked from queue and start again.

Same issue and I’m on PS5.... just not joining any games and been waiting for over 10mins

@EA_Atic pls help me i am stuck in matchmaking I bought xbox game pass and then when I tried to play my game it is stuck on matchmaking and is saying that 1 player in que no matter what server I try

Same here on 1st May 2021.  Sitting here for 15+ minutes now watching the server trio queue painfully build up.

This is madness.
