The fast paced action, smooth gameplay and, of course, the legends themselves, make the game still feel as fresh as ever in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>However, you might be wondering about the possibility of cross play. After all, a battle royale is multiplayer by nature, and you\u2019ll probably want to play it with your friends. For those unsure what the term \u201ccross play\u201d means, it\u2019s a feature that allows people using different platforms (PlayStation 4, Xbox, PlayStation 5, PC, etc) to play together.<\/p>\n<p>Keep reading if this is you, because we\u2019re going to discuss the logistics of cross play in Apex Legends!<\/p>\n<h2><strong> Is Apex Legends cross platform?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While the game wasn\u2019t initially cross play, it was announced a year after the 2019 release that Respawn would be fixing this problem.<\/p>\n<p>And lo and behold, by October 2020 gamers could play Apex Legends across platform. So, short answer,\u00a0<em>yes<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Players on PC can play against owners of both last and current-gen Xbox and PlayStation, as well as the Nintendo Switch.<\/p> <h2><strong>How to turn crossplay on or off in Apex Legends<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To play against players across platforms is very easy. In fact, it\u2019s just as easy as finding someone on your own platform \u2013 you just need their username to search for in the \u201cFind Friend\u201d option.<\/p>\n<p>As cross play is automatically enabled, you\u2019ll have to turn it off yourself. This might be the case if you don\u2019t fancy going up against PC players using dodgy mods!<\/p>\n<p>To turn off cross play, simply go to \u201cSettings\u201d in the Game Menu. Once there, go to Cross Platform Play and change the settings to Disabled.
