Is Apex Legends cross-platform?

By Jacob Roach and Jesse Lennox Updated September 11, 2024

All the best multiplayer games in the modern age, from survival games like Ark: Survival Evolved to RPGs like Genshin Impact, live and die based on their player count. With a battle royale like Apex Legends where you need a lot more players for a match than a traditional multiplayer game, you would assume it is a cross-platform game. Those who played early on may know that this wasn’t true, but what about now? There have been years of updates, but was cross-platform support ever introduced?

Yes, after an initial beta period, Apex Legends has fully integrated cross-platform support for all players by default. This includes PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and even Switch players.

Unlike some games with cross-platform support like Valorant, Apex Legends does not keep PC players separate from those on consoles. However, if you do feel you are at a disadvantage because of your platform, you can turn crossplay off at any time.

Apex Legends also features full cross-progression. Any cosmetics and player progression you make on your account can be picked up and used on any supported platform with nothing lost in the process. Just log in with the same EA account and you will be good to go.
