Apex Legends: cross-play test on US-West servers from October 7

EA has announced a default crossplay test on US-West servers for all platforms. The launch is scheduled for October 7 around 10:00 Pacific time - 20:00 Moscow time.

According to the team's announcement on October 6, the test will run until the end of the season on November 3. Its goal is to reduce the wait for a match and match opponents within a narrower skill range; this is the intention of the developers, not the measured result. Console players can disable crossplay in the settings. The latest version of the announcement clarifies that the test applies to all platforms, not just consoles. The same post lists fixes for falling through the floor in Terraformer on Broken Moon and the sound of the Gibraltar emote after landing. If you are checking a queue change, first write down the selected data center and mode, then compare the same conditions. The announcement applies to US-West: it cannot be concluded that the same rule has been introduced in all regions.
