HIGHLIGHTS
- Apex Legends Friends List Not Working issue is breaking crossplay and stopping players from teaming up across different platforms.
- The problem started or got worse after the latest Apex Legends season update, with no reliable workaround available.
- Respawn is aware of the issue and investigating, but players are still waiting for a fix with no clear update in sight.
Apex Legends is a free battle royale game made by Respawn and published by EA.
It allows crossplay, meaning players on different platforms like PC, Xbox, and PlayStation can play together.
But right now, a serious problem is stopping people from using the friends list as they normally would.
Apex Legends Friends List Not Working On All Platforms
Many players are dealing with a bug where their friends don’t show up online in Apex Legends.
It doesn’t matter if they’re using PS4, PS5, Xbox, or PC, the issue is the same. Even if their friends are playing at the same time, they don’t appear in the game’s friends list.
Because of this, players can’t see friends in the lobby, can’t invite them to join, and can’t play together.
This is especially frustrating for people using crossplay, like when someone on Xbox tries to team up with someone on PlayStation.
Crossplay just doesn’t work properly right now, and it’s ruining the experience for people who normally play with friends across different platforms.
Bug Got Worse After The New Season
The problem got a lot worse after the newest season update. Some players had similar issues before, but now even more people are running into it.
PC players using Steam say that sometimes they can see their Steam friends after a long delay, but friends using other launchers like EA or those on consoles still don’t show up.
This hints that the problem might be tied to how the game is launched. Players have tried things like restarting the game or reinstalling it, but nothing seems to help.
Many are now sending messages to each other outside the game to confirm they’re online, but they still can’t play together because the game won’t connect them.
Still No Fix Or Clear Update For Friends List Not Working Issue In Apex Legends
Respawn has said they know this issue is happening and that it’s connected to the EA friends list.
It’s causing problems with friend visibility, invites, and all crossplay functions. They’re looking into it, but so far there hasn’t been any fix or update.
Some players have contacted EA Support for help, but a few of them say the support didn’t solve the issue and even ended chats with no answers.
The community is asking Respawn to make this a top priority because it’s making it really hard for people to enjoy the game together.
