Apex Legends Queue Times Can Reach 3.5 Minutes in Core Wildcard and Apex K.O.
Higher-skilled lobbies are seeing the longest waits after Core Wildcard returned alongside Apex K.O. last week.
Queue times for Core Wildcard and Apex K.O. in Apex Legends can reach around 2.5 to 3.5 minutes. Respawn says higher-skilled lobbies are seeing the biggest delays.
Core Wildcard returned alongside Apex K.O. last week after player feedback, and both modes remain available on September 28. Players entering either option should account for longer waits, particularly in the higher-skilled matchmaking pools.
The 2.5 to 3.5-minute figure represents the highest successful queue times being seen, not a fixed wait for every match. The latest message is meant to set expectations before players queue into either mode rather than announce another gameplay adjustment.
Would you wait up to 3.5 minutes for Core Wildcard or Apex K.O., or would the longer queues send you to another mode? Follow us on X, Bluesky, YouTube, Instagram, Steam, and Telegram.
