Leak: Apex Legends coming soon to Steam
Information found in the game files suggests that Apex Legends will soon launch on Steam. The creators of the game also included a nod to the portal players.
Now Apex Legends only available on Origin. However, some information appearing on the internet suggests that the game may be coming to Steam soon.
Last year, EA Vice President Mike Blank in interview talked about the release of several multiplayer games, including Apex Legends On Valve platform . Since then, the topic has not surfaced.
A few days ago, a leak about last year's Royal Rumble appeared on the Web. Insiders (people who specialize in finding hidden data in game files), find an item that is, in fact, a keychain in the shape of a potato.
So this got added in the files, name: "v_charm_valve_potato"

GLaDO in Apex Legends
The file is called "v_charm_valve_potato" and is a clear reference to the series Portal and his GLaDO (Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System). GLaDOs controls the entire facility, accompanies the player through almost the entire gameplay, and ends up being something completely different than what we expected at the beginning. At some point in the adventure the system is blocked by the battery, which can be seen on the graph from Files Apex Legends .
We have no information about the exact release date Apex Legends on Steam. In the aforementioned interview, Mike Blank talked about 2020. The fact that images related to the Valve platform are already in the game files, proves that the launch could be much closer. Officially, however, we have no such information. All we can do is wait for something to happen.
