EA Announces Soft-Launch of Apex Legends Mobile in Select Countries

Last Updated on February 3, 2022 by Anu Joy

Back in October 2019, EA had announced a mobile version of Apex Legends. The popular battle royale game was rolled out in a closed beta in select regions across the world, testing the waters before deciding to plunge into a worldwide public release. The game is already available in countries such as India, Mexico, Hong Kong, and Turkey. Recently, EA added more countries such as Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand to the list.

How to Join Apex Legends Mobile Soft Launch

You can join the soft launch by pre-registering via this link, if you live in one of the aforementioned countries and use an Android phone. There’s a limit to the number of users who can join the soft launch, so you’ll have to grab your spots before they’re gone.  

Gamers who use iOS devices have to keep playing the waiting game for a bit more, but EA has reassured iOS users that Apex Mobile will eventually make its way to their devices in the future. Players in other countries will also have to wait patiently for the mobile version of the game.

Soft launches are typically done for mobile games, as an extended beta test of sorts before rolling out to the public. The game will remain free to play and will have its own Battle Passes, collectible cosmetics, and unlockable items, different from those found in the PC and console versions of Apex Legends. One feature that sets Apex Legends Mobile apart from the PC and console versions is the introduction of detailed weapon statistics, unique to mobile. However, the mobile version has a few shortcomings. Apex Legends Mobile will not support cross-play with the console or PC versions of the game as it is built specially for mobile.
