It’s an odd new world the place this morning’s video game information was found via TikTok. Respawn dev, Jake Smullin, took to the video sharing platform, as he so often does, to guarantee gamers that Apex Legends‘ upcoming crossplay feature will only put console players in PC lobbies if there’s a PC participant of their squad.
“Have been seeing lots of console players worrying about this but don’t,” he says. “Everyone should be excited.”

Using a controller vs folks enjoying with keyboard and mouse is usually not a enjoyable time. Take this from somebody who was too afraid (and too cussed) to be taught KBM after they first began PC gaming, and determined to make use of a controller for every little thing. You simply get dunked on. So much. It’s reassuring to see that PC and console crossplay received’t be pressured in Apex. Crossplay shouldn’t be a aggravating time, it must be a pleasant enjoyable factor that permits you to play with extra mates.
It might additionally assist console gamers keep away from these pesky PC cheaters. I’m unsure how a lot of an issue cheaters are for Apex, but it surely was a giant downside in Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare’s crossplay, which led to console players straight-up turning off crossplay to avoid them.
Apex’s cross-platform play is arriving this autumn, across the similar time because the game is deliberate to come back to the Nintendo Switch and Steam. In anticipation of that Steam launch, Respawn have even unveiled a bunch of Valve-themed cosmetics, together with one in every of a really cute Wattson holding a companion dice.
