Apex Legends experiencing server issues once again
On January 17, 2023, players took to social media platforms like Reddit and Twitter to check to see if other members of the community were experiencing server issues.
Multiple threads on the Apex Legends subreddit have gained traction as fans began to share their frustrations with the ongoing connectivity problems.
“Stuck on matchmaking for 8 minutes…just me?” asked one fan, whose post gained nearly 200 comments from other players who shared their experience. “Same here on PS5. Just stuck on “matchmaking” for ages and nothing is happening. Now we can’t even have a rank split without issues smh…”
It seems regardless of platform or region, players have dealt with indefinite wait times and extremely laggy matches. On top of that, the problems persisted to the following day, with no sign of letting up.
Apex Legends player Whos_Neg posted a clip on Twitter that showed the extent of the server problems. Even after getting into a match, the game’s speed was incredibly slow and jittery.
At the time of writing, Respawn has yet to publicly acknowledge the ongoing issues, so it’s unclear whether or not a fix is on the way. For now, it seems all players can do is wait until Apex’s servers are back to normal.
