Apex Legends Gets Cross-Play Support; Switch And Steam Ports Coming

During EA Play 2020, Respawn had some big announcements for Apex Legends. The battle royale game is scheduled to get cross-platform support between consoles and PC. Additionally, Apex Legends is releasing for Steam and Nintendo Switch, providing more ways to play the game.

Respawn did not have exact dates for when Apex Legends would be seeing these changes or releases, but it's all expected out sometime this fall.

EA has committed itself to expanded support for Switch as well as Steam, and the release of Apex is perhaps the strongest indication of that dedication yet. A number of EA games have hit Steam in recent weeks, with Titanfall 2, Dead Space 3, and The Sims 4 hitting just prior to EA Play.
