New files added to the game in a recent update feature "nucleus" strings, which have descriptions that refer to matchmaking on the three platforms. And as the dataminer who made the discovery explains, there's almost no reason why these would be added to the game if it wasn't in preparation of cross-play.
I'm not 100% convinced we'll see it soon, but did want to show that I found some handling for cross network play using something called Nucleus - also looks like they have a way to standardize the Player Identification across platforms? pic.twitter.com/MpIWgjkvFS

As you can see, it looks like not only is cross-play being worked on, but cross-progression, which sometimes accompanies cross-play implementation. Cross-progression simply means you can transfer your progress from one platform to another.
Of course, all of this should be taken with a grain of salt, like any leak. That said, it's pretty damning evidence that, at the very least, Respawn is messing around with adding cross-play to the game. Whether it ever will, who knows. Further, if it does, there's no indication when it could go live. However, if files are already being added to the game, this suggests it could be coming sooner rather than later.
Apex Legends is available, for free, via the PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
