Average queue times

What are the typical queue times for players lately? Killer matches I can queue up in like 30 seconds but solo survivor is usually 5-10 minutes.

I'm also central US playing around 6-10 pm, on Xbox with cross play on.

Is this about the same for everyone else? I want to play survivor more but would rather keep getting into games instantly.

    About the same. Less even, for killer. Had a survivor queue creep up on 12 minutes earlier.

    I do not have queue times as a killer. At night, anyways. I do not bother during the day.

    I get games faster on PS4 with crossplay off, but I've had the same killer targeting me for days to I had to turn on crossplay. I don't know why crossplay makes it take longer for me as a solo survivor, but I wait at least five minutes, and that's if I'm lucky. Just now took almost half an hour to get a game.

    You can try killer during the day.

    Killer becomes instant around 4-5PM

    Survivor is only instant in the morning for me. Starting from the middle of the day there slowly starts to increase the queue of a few seconds which ends at prime time with 10+ minutes.

    Used to be survivor queues during the day were instant and killer would take a few minutes.

    Since like November? I've gotten instant killer games at any time. Survivor queue during the day is typically 1-3 minutes. After 8pm they start creeping up and after ten you may as well forget about it. EST.

    Same as always I think. 30 seconds queue times for killers during evening and most of the night, 4-5 minutes during most of the rest of the day. Vice versa for survs.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    Damn the probably first time i see one of these threads and someone included all data necessary for a comparative discussion.

    Location, hours, platform and crossplay status.

    edit: sadly once again the only one in the thread providing info.

    80-90% (guessed, exaggerated) of the survivor console playerbase have crossplay on.

    I guess the percentage of console killer isn't as high so the rest survivor to rest killer ratio for console exclusive lobbies is way closer to 4:1 than for the bulk crossplay playerbase.
