Apex Legends
Cross-Play Verification
This page is our investigation of cross-play feature in game called Apex Legends. We also want to mention that - we always put manual efforts to find the precise, valid, and what is more important official information about different game features without using AI.
How we group cross-play?
Games can have different cross-play combinations, for example the game can have cross-play between PC, Playstation 5, Xbox X|S, but not between old generations like: Xbox One, Playstation 4, PC. To avoid any misinterpretations, we group them into so called "cross-play variations".
Any store inside the cross-play variation have a cross-play only with a store in the SAME variation. We also want to notice, that we put into variation not platform, but store + platform. That is required because some games, for example, can have cross-play between a Playstation 5 and Steam, but not Playstation 5 and Epic Games.
Variation no. 1:
Like most multiplayer games, Apex Legends didn't support cross-play from its release. On October 6, 2020, with the start of season 6 named "Aftermarket," a cross-play feature was added to the game, and players on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC via Steam, and the EA App were able to play together. Then, on March 9, 2021, Apex Legends was released on Nintendo Switch with full cross-play support at the start.
Information about cross-play gained from the official EA Help website, which can be accessed by following this link. We also attached the screenshot of that webpage, which you can see below
