Respawn’s chief operating officer and general manager for Apex Legend, Dusty Welch, has acknowledged that crossplay for players on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 is “important” for the battle royale game.
Whilst stopping short of detailing when we might, finally, see console crossplay, in an interview in the latest issue of Game Informer (thanks, Comic Book) Welch shared players’ frustration of not being able to play with pals on different platforms, and said it was “an important thing to get to”.
“I think on crossplay we see it’s something that is kind of expected in the industry and is important to a game like ours,” Welch said. “Chad [Grenier, Apex Legends’ director] and I are obviously big fans of playing our game at work and in our free time – and we go home on a Friday or weekend and want to play with each other and we’re on different systems.
