Apex Legends Mobile soft-launches for Android in select regions

Apex Legends is already a well-known battle royale shooter on PCs and consoles. In the last few years, a lot of FPS titles have made their way to mobile. Following suit, Apex Legends also announced ‘Apex Legends Mobile’ way back in 2020.

Since then, the game has gone through multiple beta tests in India, the Philippines, Mexico, Hong Kong, Turkey, and more. Finally, EA has decided to go for a soft launch in a handful of countries; Australia, Argentina, Colombia, Malaysia, Mexico, Indonesia, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and the Philippines.

Respawn, the Apex Legends creator announced this via a tweet:

As of now, people in these countries can access the early version of the game. The game is available only for Android. They can download it from Google Play. Meanwhile, iOS users in these regions might have to wait a little longer to step into Olympus.

If you have played Apex Legends on PC or console before, you will like the mobile counterpart. It follows the same 60-player battle royale pattern with 3 players on each team. As always, players can choose from several Legends and enter the battlefield.

For the beta tests, the download size of the game was about 2GB. We can assume that the size will be more or less the same.

So far, Respawn Entertainment has not provided a date for the soft launch. However, the next Apex Legends season ‘Defiance’ is set to release on February 8. So it's likely that the mobile launch will happen on February 8th.

Respawn will share more details about the global and iOS release, in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, players can pre-register for Apex Legends Mobile on Google Play. You will be notified as soon as the game becomes available.
