Apex Legends Coming to Android and iOS by The End of 2020, Confirms EA CEO

Jun. 23, 2020

There have long been rumors of Apex’s developer Respawn working on a mobile port for its fast-paced action game. EA first confirmed interest in the mobile space during its earnings call earlier this year. And today, during an investor chat session, Wilsonrevealeda timeline for the rollout of Apex Legends Mobile.

In the video attached below, you can see Wilson talk aboutApex Legends’ mobile launchby saying, “We have talked about having Apex Legends in soft launch by the end of the year.” Yes, this means the team is already working on the mobile port and we can expect it to land alongside (or a couple of months after) the Switch version.

PC players will now be able to quickly jump into the action with Xbox or PS4 players, and vice-versa. Fortnite cross-play is not satisfactory due to mobile players’ skills not being on par with PC or console players. Thus, it will be interesting to see how Respawn will handle these issues in Apex Legends Mobile.

Apex Legends is looking to join the ranks of popular battle royale game mobile ports, including PUBG Mobile, Fortnite, and Call of Duty Mobile. It will be interesting to see how Respawn brings the same responsiveness and fast-paced action to mobile devices later this year.
