About Apex Legends

Apex Legends is a Battle Royale developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts, released in 2019. It sits across Battle Royale and Hero Shooter, so it borrows ideas from each rather than sticking to one template.

You can play Apex Legends on desktop (PC) and console (PS5, Xbox and Switch). It supports PvP, so expect the experience to revolve around other players rather than a solo campaign.

Apex Legends is free to download and play, which makes it a low-risk way to find out whether the Battle Royale loop clicks for you. It carries a Teen age rating. It will suit you best if you enjoy squads, movement and esports experiences.
