    Apex Legends Mobile has landed on Android smartphones and tablets

    Following a few months of beta testing, Apex Legends Mobile is coming to the Google Play Store today. In fact, it might already be available for your Galaxy device in your region, but there's no way to tell for sure unless you try.

    The launch is staggered, and mobile gamers in some markets appear to have gotten access to the first Apex Legends Mobile public release earlier than others. However, it shouldn't take long before the game goes live globally, so make sure to check the Google Play Store often.

    Like the PC and console version of the game, Apex Legends Mobile was developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by EA. The game has a free-to-play model, meaning smartphone and tablet users can download and play it for free with the option of spending cash on the microtransaction shop.

    The cash shop contains only skins and other visual effects but doesn't offer purchasable gameplay advantages — at least, not at the time of release.

    Apex Legends Mobile was developed for mobile devices, and as a result, it follows a different season progression path than the PC/console version of the game. It also lacks cross-play or cross-platform capabilities.

    Apex Legends Mobile requires at least 2GB of RAM and a chipset equivalent to the Exynos 7420 / Snapdragon 435. In theory, the game should work on almost any Galaxy smartphone and tablet on the market, but your mileage will vary.

    We had the chance to play Apex Legends Mobile briefly on the Galaxy S22 Ultra, and we have noticed that the game maxed out at 60fps. A 120Hz mode will perhaps be supported at a later date. We'll keep you posted.
