We've known Apex Legends is coming to mobile platforms for almost a year, but a specific release date has yet to be announced. However, it shouldn't take long, as Respawn is about to soft launch the mobile title in selected countries.
According to Respawn, Apex Legends is soft-launching for Android devices first in Argentina, Columbia, Mexico, Peru, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand, with more countries receiving it soon. Unfortunately, iOS users will have to wait a little longer before getting a chance to play the game.
The Soft Launch for Apex Mobile is coming! For those in the countries mentioned below, please follow the link, or visit your local Google Play Store page, to pre-register. For all other legends, sit tight! We'll have more info for you soon.

Respawn has been conducting multiple beta tests in different countries, including India and the Philippines. Similar to other mobile games, Apex Legends mobile has been designed from the ground up for touchscreens, with carefully thought controls to ensure the best possible mobile gaming experience.
Pre-registrations are already open in these countries, so if you live in one of them (or know how to use a VPN), you can do it now via the Google Play Store. Like the PC version, the mobile title will be free-to-play and won't feature any paid items that give you an advantage over others.
KitGuru says: With the soft launch in sight, it shouldn't take long before Respawn launches the game worldwide. Are you a fan of Apex Legends? Do you plan on trying the mobile version?
