Apex Legends investigating connection issues
Apex Legends is experiencing a connection issue on all platforms, but acknowledged the situation and is working to correct it.
UPDATE 7:00 PM EST – Consoles are back! PC players still have a bit of waiting to do, though it might be worth trying for an occasional game.
We are seeing good recovery on consoles. PC is slowly coming back up as well but not out of the woods yet. We’re continuing to work on it. Thanks for your patience 🙂
