Apex Legends is definitely one of the best Battle Royale games out there, so it’s good to see it finally make its way to mobile phones and tablets. After the launch of Apex Legends Mobile was recently delayed due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, developer Respawn has set a new date for the release of the handheld device. Apex Legends Mobile comes on Android and iOS, with a release date of March 7 and launch time at midnight PST. However, unfortunately, the initial launch will be limited to only ten countries, and this does not include the UK or the US.
Alternatively, Apex Legends Mobile will be available on Android and iOS in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Mexico, Peru, Argentina, and Colombia.
The UK and US launch date largely depends on the success of the limited rollout in the above countries.
Developer Respawn doesn’t offer much, only that they will share additional information soon.
Respawn continues, “We will share updates about the global launch once we’ve made informed decisions after the limited regional launch.”
“If you are in one of the participating testing countries, pre-registration is now open. We are still actively testing the app around the world and can’t wait for more players to join in the fun when it launches!”
In terms of content, Apex Legends Mobile will launch with a limited number of characters, including Bloodhound, Gibraltar, Lifeline, Wraith, Bangalore, Octane, Mirage, Pathfinder, and Caustic.
Needless to say, the mobile version won’t support cross-play with consoles or PC, at least not at launch.
Ostensibly, this will not change in the future, as the game is designed specifically for smartphones: “Apex Legends Mobile has been specifically designed for mobile, so it will not feature cross-play with the console or PC versions of Apex Legends.
Similarly, the developer of Apex Legends does not recommend downloading the game through third-party sites.
“In our next test, the game will be available on Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Please note that the game should not be downloaded via any third-party site or direct APK download.”
If you live in one of the participating countries or want to play Apex Legends Mobile when it debuts in the UK, Respawn has also released a list of supported devices/specs.
Notably, the unsupported devices in the limited region test are iOS devices with less than 2 GB of RAM and Android devices with less than 3 GB of RAM.
We will be able to support Android devices with 2GB of RAM from the following brands… Vivo, Oppo, Huawei, Motorola, Samsung, Lenovo, Xiaomi.
To work on Android, you need a phone with Android 8.1, Open GL 3.0 or higher and 3 GB of free space.
For iOS devices, you need iPhone 6S or later, OS 10.0 processor, A9, 3 GB or more free space and at least 2 GB of RAM.
