Prediction error
Platform: PS5
Game: Apex Legends
I am experiencing Prediction Error in almost every online match. The issue causes my movement to feel delayed/strange, especially while sprinting or moving sideways. My weapon movement also becomes abnormal when the error occurs.
The important part is that the in-game network statistics remain normal when the error happens:
- Ping: approximately 50–58 ms
- Packet loss: 0/0
- Choke: 0/0
My teammates do not experience the issue and they see my character moving normally, while I experience the Prediction Error and movement stuttering on my own screen.
Troubleshooting already performed:
- Reinstalled Apex Legends completely.
- Restarted PS5.
- Restarted modem/router.
- Tested 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.
- Tested 5 GHz Wi-Fi.
- Tested US Central data center.
- Tested US West data center.
- Tested 60 FPS and 120 FPS.
- PS5 reports NAT Type 2.
- Tested another internet connection using a mobile hotspot; the issue still occurred.
- Firing Range does not reproduce the issue; it only occurs in online matches.
The issue therefore appears to be related to online match synchronization/prediction rather than conventional packet loss, high ping, FPS performance, or a corrupted installation.

Please investigate whether this is a known Prediction Error/synchronization issue affecting PS5 clients
