For legends trying to connect to the Apex Legends servers but can’t, it’s not just you. Players on consoles and PC are having issues connecting or finding matches today, May 22.
This is something affecting gamers worldwide, though some have reported they are able to connect.
Apex Legends Downtime Unexpectedly Happens on May 22
Social media and the game’s subreddit have confirmed the outage, and EA has communicated this as well via the official Apex Legends Live Comms X (formerly Twitter) account, stating, “We are aware players are currently unable to connect to a match. We are aware and are investigating. Thank you for your patience.”
For now, the game’s servers are still having issues. If you can connect (or can’t), leave a comment below stating your platform and where you are in the world.
When it comes to game updates, the studio released a patch last week. However, there are still a handful of known issues, which we’ve included below.
