Next the trailer gives a very brief glimpse at a new LTM coming toApex Legends. This LTM has been dubbed Flashpoint. In this mode, players won’t be able to find any loot that heals them or provides shields. Instead, they will need to make their way to specific Flashpoint Zones that will heal them over time.
Finally, players were finally given details about thecrossplay updatecoming to the game.

According to the officialApex Legendswebsite, players will need to manually disable crossplay if they do not wish to play with other platforms.
While this crossplay update will be exciting for many players, there are still some mysteries that Respawn doesn’t address in their blog post. ManyApex Legendsplayers have been under the assumption that when crossplay arrived in the game that would also be when theNintendo Switch and Steam versionswould be released as well. However, it seems that both of these versions are still being worked on for the time being.
Nintendo Switch players may be disappointed that they have to wait a little longer before they can jump into the arena, however it looks like the game will have plenty of new content waiting for them when they arrive. Reliable dataminer and leaker Biast12 recently leaked images of7 new legends that are currently in the works forApex Legends. So while Switch players may have to wait a little longer, it seems like it’ll be well worth the wait.
