Updated: Feb 28, 2022
After months of silence since EA and Respawn Entertainment announced that Apex Legends will be going to smartphones, there is now an official confirmation that it will get a limited regional launch.
Taking place in March 2022 as part of its big push into mobile gaming, this milestone development will open up Apex Legends Mobile to 10 participating countries. Fans and interested players from these participating test countries can pre-register now.
Players in the following countries can download the game from both Google Play and Apple App stores:
Australia
New Zealand
Singapore
Malaysia
Philippines
Indonesia
Mexico
Peru
Argentina
Colombia
According to the latest press release from EA, this limited launch release – noted to run throughout Spring, meaning March to May – will monitor and fix bugs that are expected to appear. The developers have also encouraged players to provide feedback as the end goal is to optimise Apex Legends Mobile for global launch.
Major confirmations for this launch event include:
No cross-play feature with PC and console players
Characters listed as playable: Bloodhound, Gibraltar, Lifeline, Wraith, Bangalore, Octane, Mirage, Pathfinder and Caustic
Updates and optimisations have been included from the previous closed beta-test that was carried out in the Philippines and India.
There are minimum hardware requirements for smartphones, including 3GB RAM. Fortunately, some brands – Vivo, Oppo, Huawei, Motorola, Samsung, Lenovo and Xiaomi – have been included in the optimisation so their 2GB platforms can run this game.
“We’ll be sharing updates on global launch once we’ve made informed decisions coming out of the limited regional launch,” the developers added in its media statement.
Apex Legends Mobile selected four Southeast Asia countries – Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, and Indonesia – for the limited regional launch event
