Apex Legends Mobile will launch in select regions next week

Respawn Entertainment has announced that Apex Legends Mobile will launch in select countries next week.

In a blog post, the developer revealed that Apex Legends Mobile will be available on Android and iOS in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Mexico, Peru, Argentina, and Colombia starting February 28th.

The blog also reveals that the developer will “share updates on global launch once we’ve made informed decisions coming out of the limited regional launch.”

Apex Legends Mobile will not feature any cross-play with console or PC versions of Apex Legends.

Respawn has also revealed the minimum requirements for users that intend to participate in the limited launch.

For Android:

• Android 8.1
• Open GL 3.0 or higher
• 3 GB free space
• At least 3 GB RAM
• Screens size: N/L/XL

For iOS:

• iPhone 6S or later
• OS version: 10.0 or later
• CPU: A9
• 3 GB free space
• At least 2GB RAM

Closed beta tests began on Android devices for players in India and the Philippines last spring, before the game was rolled out to more regions and players over the course of the year.

“Apex Legends Mobile is specially designed for touchscreens, with streamlined controls and thoughtful optimizations that result in the most advanced battle royale combat available on a phone,” according to Respawn. “It’s a new version of Apex Legends, but it’s true to the original.”

Like the PC and console game, Apex Legends Mobile will be free-to-play and won’t include paid items that offer a gameplay advantage.

The game will have its own battle passes, collectible cosmetics, and unique unlockables.
