Respawn reportedly set to announce Apex Legends cross-play at EA Play Respawn EntertainmentThe wait for Apex Legends cross-play may finally be over, according to reports suggesting Respawn Entertainment will unveil the long-awaited feature during their EA Play event livestream on June 18. There\u2019s already a huge slate of features, in-game events, and next-gen upgrades Respawn is likely going to trot out during their EA Play livestream event. According to new rumors, there may be one more thing on the menu too \u2014 cross-play. Cross-play has become an integral feature for many modern games in recent times. Although many gamers are split by their choice of console, allowing users on PlayStation, Xbox, and of course PC to link together often breathes new life into a game\u2019s player base. It\u2019s no surprise then that Apex Legends fans have been crying out for the feature since the game was first revealed to the world in February last year. Titles like Call of Duty and rival battle royale Fortnite, already employ the link-up feature. Apex Legends may finally be ready to join the list of games breaking down console barriers too though, when 2020\u2019s EA Play livestream event \u2014 which was delayed a week due to all the ongoing protests across the world \u2014 finally rolls around. The rumors cross-play is one of the headlining features set to be unveiled by Respawn this Thursday comes from VentureBeat. According to writer Jeff Grubb, Apex fans should \u201cexpect the battle royale shooter to get cross-play\u201d following an official announcement at EA Play 2020. The timing of the announcement certainly makes sense too. Respawn is gearing up for a big switch onto next-generation consoles in late 2020. Having plenty of players already in the battle royale can only help its impending shift. The Apex Legends cross-play rumors come at the same time as another long-awaited slice of news too. Respawn\u2019s battle royale may also finally be coming to Nintendo Switch. This was backed up by a recent EA investors call. A potential cross-play announcement isn\u2019t the only reason to tune into Respawn\u2019s EA Play stream tomorrow either. There\u2019s plenty more on the menu: the leaked Crypto Town Takeover should be announced, as should Apex\u2019s official Steam release. Whatever Respawn ends up unveiling during the June 18 event, it\u2019s sure to be unmissable for any diehard Apex Legends fan. We\u2019ve got everything you need to know, including how to tune into the stream, and what else to expect, right here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
