Global pre-registration for Apex Legends Mobile has officially begun.

EA has announced that players across the world can now pre-register to play Apex Legends Mobile. Earlier this year, the game had a limited launch which saw the pocket edition of the award-winning battle royale game rolled out across ten countries. 

Like its console and PC cousins, the mobile edition of Apex Legends will be free to play, and if you pre-register on Android through the Play Store, you’ll be treated to exclusive in-game cosmetic items at launch. EA is “hopeful” that the game will release this summer.

EA is promising optimisations that give a streamlined experience when playing Apex Legends on mobile, but as the game has been built specifically for mobile devices, it won’t feature cross-play with either the PC or console versions. 

Apex Legends PS5 and Xbox Series X versions have been rated in Europe and America, signalling the imminent arrival of next-gen versions of the popular strategic hero shooter.

EA’s battle royale offering could be a real game-changer as Apex Legends is courting traditional FPS fans with all-new Control mode. And with so many games like Apex Legends, live service game fatigue is real, but can it be fixed? Read our feature to find out.
