The fix on consoles is temporary, but it’s much faster than the one for PC, and players have found it successful. It involves changing your DNS [Domain Name System] server to a public DNS service with its own numbered code.

You can bypass the error on your PS5 by following these steps:

  1. Go to ‘Settings’ > ‘Network’ > ‘Set Up Internet Connection’
  2. Pick the connection that you use (WiFi or LAN Cable)
  3. Select ‘custom’ and enter the following settings:
  • IP Address Settings: Automatic
  • DHCP Host Name: Do Not Specify
  • DNS Settings: Manual
  • Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8
  • Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4
  • MTU Settings: Automatic
  • Proxy Server: Do Not Use

Once you save these settings, you will have fixed the error. You will have to close the Apex Legends application and start it up again to apply the changes to the game.
