Those looking to jump into the mobile rendition of Apex Legends can do so this month. Respawn Entertainment has announced that Apex Legends Mobile will hit Android and iOS in May. Although no exact release date has been announced, the studio is working to release the mobile game across the globe in the coming weeks.
Apex Legends Mobile has been in closed testing for a few months now. The game, which is a standalone version of the console and PC battle royale shooter, will be free-to-play and won’t include any sort of paid items that can be used as “pay-to-win”. Instead, Apex Legends Mobile will follow in the console and PC port’s footsteps and release cosmetic items and other battle pass skins.
