As reported by VGC, Apex Legends Mobile design director Jordan Patz revealed that the game will launch worldwide for Android and iOS on 17 May.
Apex Legends Mobile’s minimum system requirements have also been released and are as follows:
Android
- Snapdragon 435/ Hisilicon Kirin 650/ Mediatek Helio P20/ Exynos 7420
- Android 6.0
- Open GL 3.1 or higher
- 4 GB free space
- At least 2 GB RAM
iOS
- iPhone 6S or later
- OS version: 11.0 or later
- CPU: A9
- 4 GB free space
- At least 2 GB RAM
The mobile game will feature exclusive content to ensure that it isn’t a carbon copy of the mobile and desktop versions and offers fine-tuned touchscreen optimisations to give players the best mobile experience.
Apex Legends Mobile’s closed beta test launched on 7 March but was limited to only ten countries, excluding South Africa.
Respawn Entertainment has recently announced that once Apex Legends Mobile releases globally, any new characters will hit the mobile game first before moving to the console and PC versions.
Currently, players have access to ten Legends, including Bloodhound, Wraith, Octane, Caustic, and Lifeline.
Players can choose Battle Royale, Ranked Battle Royale, Mini Battle Royale, Team Deathmatch, and 3v3 Arenas on either World’s Edge or King’s Canyon.
Like the PC and console versions, Apex Legends Mobile will include an in-game store with items limited to cosmetics and battle passes.
