Comment crossplay dans Apex Legends
Crossplay is enabled by default on all platforms. To add a friend, go to the friends menu and select " Find a friend. You will be able to search for a username on any platform and submit a friend request. Once you've added your friends, you can send them a play invite from the friends menu. Cross-platform party invitations will appear as an in-game notification in the lobby.
You will be able to find out which platform your friends are playing on by looking at the icon under their name in your friends list. Xbox gamers have the Xbox logo, PC gamers have a computer and monitor, and PS4 gamers have a generic gamepad icon.
Cross-platform games can use in-game voice chat. You cannot use a system's group chat feature with players on another platform. You can't use PlayStation Group Chat with friends on PC or Xbox, for example.
Also, cross play doesn't mean cross progression. Your statistics and items are blocked on the platform of your choice. You can't just jump between systems and take all your gear with you like you can in Fortnite. Cross-progression will be discussed at a later date, most likely when Apex Legends hits Steam later this year.
How cross-platform matchmaking works
Prior to the crossplay update, you would only be up against other players on your specific platform. Now things work a little differently. All console players will now be automatically matched to other console players, meaning that both PlayStation and Xbox players will be placed in the same matches. PC players will continue to be paired only with other PC players. This divide is intended to ensure that PC gamers using a keyboard and mouse are not placed in the same lobbies as console gamers with controllers.
However, if a PS4 or Xbox One player teams up with a PC player, they will be placed in PC matches. This ensures that PC gamers are not brought into console lobbies. If a member of your crossplay group is on PC, your team will be placed in matches on PC.
If you want to turn off cross play in Apex Legends, you can do so from the game's settings menu. It's on by default, but you can turn off cross-platform beta if you want. This will likely make your queue times incredibly long, as most players will likely keep the default setting. EA recommends leaving crossplay enabled for the best experience.
