When is Apex Legends Mobile coming out? Release date on iOS and Android
Mobile users can't wait to get ApexLegends to their smartphones after EA revealed its plans for the future of the popular battle royale game.
As modern smartphones continue to improve, mobile gaming is becoming more and more viable, with many popular games often looking to introduce a mobile edition of their title.
Some games that are already presented on IOS and Android before, such as Playerunknown's Battlegrounds и Fortnitehave already seen huge success and many fans are curious when Apex Legends will follow suit.
What Does EA Say About Apex Legends Mobile?
Electronic Arts has hinted at some of its plans to transition the popular game battle royale to mobile platforms during the May 7 conference.
While ApexLegends is currently available for anyone playing on PC, Xbox One, and PS4, EA has confirmed that they intend to bring Respawn Entertainment's release to mobile.
The release of the mobile edition will open for players who do not own a device capable of running Apex Legends at the moment (PC, PS4, XB1), but have the necessary smartphones, access to the game.
Nearly 30% of Apex Legends players were brand new to EA and their games, according to the company, so releasing the game on more platforms should open them up to an even larger audience that might be interested in some of their other titles.

Will Apex Legends be on iPhone and Android?
Although there is no official announcement of a mobile release yet, it is likely that ApexLegends will be playable on iPhone and Android devices.
Because Apex Legends is a tech game with a huge map, especially since it was added World's End cards in Season 3, it is expected that some older versions of mobile devices may not be included in the list of available devices for the game.
As far as Apple is concerned, mobile device support is rumored to end on the iPhone 6 and 6+ phone models later this year. It's a fair guess that the oldest iPhone that will run Apex Legends is probably the iPhone 7, but Respawn will announce the full list when the mobile app is ready for release.
Apex Legends Mobile release date
There is currently no word on when Apex Legends will hit mobile devices. Although EA has mentioned their intention to bring the game to the platform, they have refrained from giving fans a timeline as to when this might happen.
During the mobile conference, which first discussed plans for mobile expansion, EA CEO Blake Jorgensen announced that the company will announce the date after the completion of negotiations.
«We are in preliminary talks to bring ApexLegends to China and the mobile market, and we will update you on the timing when these talks are completed.“, - he explained.
Many expect a possible release date for mobile devices to be revealed at the end of 2019, but we'll be sure to update this post as more information becomes available.
