How to Play Apex Legends With Friends

Short answer

PlayBound gets you and your friends into Apex Legends together — matching up the party and launching the game for everyone at once. Multiplayer itself, once you're in, runs entirely through Apex Legends's own service.

How PlayBound connects youParty presence and launch only — multiplayer is the game's own service

Step by step

  1. 1Open PlayBound and create or join a party.
  2. 2Add Apex Legends as the party's game and launch together.
  3. 3From here, multiplayer runs through Apex Legends's own service — invite friends, join lobbies, and matchmake the normal way.

What PlayBound does and doesn't do here

PlayBound helps you find your friends, form a party, and launch Apex Legends together in one click. It doesn't run Apex Legends's matchmaking, lobbies, or game servers — that stays exactly as Apex Legends built it, unmodified. If something about multiplayer itself isn't working, that's a Apex Legends question, not a PlayBound one.
