Apex Legends Mobile | Release Date

We’ll explain everything you need to know about Mobile here. Here you can find out the release date, how you can pre-register and what minimum requirements your smartphone has to fulfill.

Apex Legends Mobile has been in the planning stages for a long time. The player base for mobile is just so much larger than for PC or console. So why wouldn’t such a big brand with a crazy popular product try to develop a mobile version of the game? This is exactly why CoD: Mobile exists and Warzone Mobile has already been announced. But unlike Warzone Mobile, Apex Legends Mobile is already available. We’ll show you everything there is to know about Apex Legends Mobile here.

When is the Apex Legends Mobile release date?
The developers have now officially confirmed that Apex Legends Mobile will be released on May 17, 2022. You can see the below:

At the end of the trailer, we see a sneak peek of the new Legend, who is exclusive to Apex Legends. It’s an older gentleman that seems to be a rival of Mirage.

When will Apex Legends Mobile be released worldwide?
Apex Legends Mobile will be available in each region on May 17 at the following time:

Region

North America02:00 PT
South America06:00 BRT
Europa05:00 BST
Asia Central14:30 IST
APAC North13:00 JST
APAC South10:00 AEST

How much does Apex Legends Mobile cost?
Apex Legends Mobile will be completely free to download in all regions. Not really a big surprise, but still good to know. Of course, just like on PC and console, there will be more than enough cosmetics to buy. So expect a Battle Pass and masses of Apex Packs.

How does the Apex Legends mobile gameplay work?
From what we’ve seen so far, it looks like they’re trying to port the game as faithfully as possible, but at a low resolution. So you should expect the same gameplay as on PC and console, with the same modes and leaderboards. How well the controls will work, however, remains to be seen. As on PC and console, you should also get used to cheaters on mobile:

How many legendaries are there in Apex Legends Mobile?
So far, the following Legends have been confirmed for Apex Legends Mobile: Bloodhound, Gibraltar, Lifeline, Wraith, Bangalore, Octane, Mirage, Pathfinder, and Caustic. However, it has already been announced that more content and legends will be added in the launch version of Apex Legends Mobile.

What map is Apex Legends Mobile playing on?
World’s Edge is the only confirmed map at this point, but there will likely be other maps either at launch or shortly thereafter. Even though Olympus may be the most popular map, World’s Edge is definitely not a bad choice, so no need to mope.

Does Apex Legends Mobile support cross-play?
No, Apex Legends Mobile will not support cross-play with PC or console. However, that’s not bad news for mobile gamers. If console players already have a hard time against PC players, imagine how frustrating it would be to use your smartphone to compete against those sweaty ones.

Apex Legends Mobile Minimum System Requirements
In principle, any smartphone from the last 5 years should be able to handle Apex Legends, but anything older than the iPhone 6S or Galaxy S7 will have problems. Here are the exact specifications for Android and iOS devices.

Apex Legends Mobile Minimum Requirements for Android

Soc Snapdragon 435/ Hisilicon Kirin 650/ Mediatek Helio P20/ Exynos 7420

OS Android 6.0 Memory

4 GB free space RAM At least 2GB

Apex Legends Mobile Minimum Requirements for iOS
Model iPhone 6S or better

OS 11.0 or better Memory

4GB of free memory RAM At least 2GB

Alternatives to Mobile
If your mobile doesn’t pack Apex Legends, you can alternatively play on PC with Android emulators like BlueStacks. Of course, we haven’t seen the Apex Legends Mobile terms of service yet, so it could well be that such emulators violate the guidelines. However, the question then also arises why you don’t play the real Apex Legends if you already use the PC… After all, that is also available for free.

What is actually… “Apex Legends?

Within 24 hours, “Apex Legends” became the most-watched game on Twitch – after one week, over 25 million people were already playing it. What is the battle royale shooter about?

What is “Apex Legends” about?

Scenario: In a distant future, bandits, adventurers, and outlaws settle their disputes in a sporting contest to the death. The setting is a fertile, industrially developed valley on the edge of the galaxy.

  • Genre: Battle Royale shooter
  • Game modes: survival battle between a maximum of 20 teams of three.

At its core, “Apex Legends” is a classic battle-royale shooter: up to 60 players land simultaneously in teams of three on the game map called “Kings Canyon” – a densely built-up, fertile valley with many accessible houses, bunkers and towers. Once on the ground, unarmed players must search their surroundings for equipment and ammunition. The goal of the game is to stay alive until the end.

To prevent players from hiding all over the map and waiting to automatically be the last one left, the game area shrinks every few minutes. The longer a round lasts, the smaller the area where survivors can move and hide.

Apex Legends refreshes this now classic game formula with some ideas that are unique to the genre: For example, before starting a round, players select one of eight heroes, each of which has two special abilities and facilitates certain play styles.

Bangalore, for example, is the classic soldier who can conceal her position with smoke grenades and call in an artillery strike in an emergency. The heroine Lifeline, on the other hand, can summon a drone to heal teammates – or directly order the delivery of high-value weapons and equipment via aerial drone. This way, all players can find the right hero for their preferred course of action.

How can I play Apex Legends?

Platform: “Apex Legends” is available for PC, Xbox One and Playstation 4.

Price: The battle royale shooter is a “Free to Play” title and can basically be played for free on all platforms.

In-game purchases: “Apex Legends” allows the purchase of cosmetic items and new heroes either by means of in-game currency, which can be earned for free in every round, or with real money. The real-money currency “Apex Coins” can be purchased in five different amounts: The smallest possible amount is 1000 Apex Points for around 9.99 euros, while the largest pack with 10,000 Apex Points content costs 99.99 euros.

The developer emphasizes that it is not possible to buy game advantages with the help of real money: You can only use it to customize the appearance of the heroes, it says, or purchase new heroes.

Age rating: “Apex Legends” does not have a youth rating (USK 18).

Which technical terms should you know?

Respawn Beacon: If a player is shot down, the team members who are still alive have the opportunity to bring the fallen comrade back into the game: Each eliminated player leaves behind a so-called Respawn Banner, which can be collected by the players of the own team and handed in at one of 28 Respawn Beacons, certain on the map. If this succeeds, the fallen player returns to the game.

Jumpmaster: At the beginning of the game, one of the maximum three players of a team always takes on the role of the jumpmaster. He decides when and where his team enters the game area.

Ping: Using the middle mouse button, players can alert their teammates to interesting locations in the game world or enemies. These pings are a valuable tool for communicating quickly and efficiently within the team.
