Apex Legends’ matchmaking test starts on October 7 at around 10 a.m. PT. During the test, cross-play will be enabled by default for all players on consoles using US-West servers. Console players can opt out by turning off cross-play in the settings menu. Respawn says the test will run until the end of the season on November 3.
