The same complaints about the players playing with PC have been reported; it seems like the crossplay options are not working for everyone who plays the game on PC, Xbox, PS4, and Nintendo Switch. 

How To Fix Apex Legends Crossplay Not Working Issue?

The default troubleshooting procedure, which almost everyone is acquainted with, is the ideal place to start. Restart the game if necessary. If it doesn't work, reboot the console or computer. If nothing of these options resolves the problem, it may be more complicated. Check both players' privacy and parental control settings to ensure nothing obvious is blocking the friend invitation from being sent.

The most common difficulty with friend requests is between players on different platforms when it comes to Apex Legends. If one of these players is using a PC, make sure Apex Legends has all of the appropriate rights, that all game-related drivers are current, and that the operating system is current. It's also possible that specific firewall settings will prohibit online games from working correctly.

If none of these methods worked, gamers might have little choice but to wait for the situation to be fixed or seek assistance from Respawn. Apex Legends is a hugely successful game infamous for having trouble supporting its existing player base. It's possible that the problem isn't client-side, making it unsolvable without a Respawn patch.
