EA and Respawn Entertainment just released Apex Legends today for the Nintendo Switch. This release is free to those who own a Switch and features cross-platform play with those on the PC and other consoles if so desired.

Also beginning today is the latest limited time event: The Chaos Theory Collection Event. This event "users in a brand new town takeover featuring fan favorite Legend Caustic and the introduction of the Ring Fury Escalation Takeover mode for the duration of the event."

This Switch release of Apex Legends was developed alongside Panic Button. This release features gyroscope aiming and targets 30fps at 720p docked resolution (576p in handheld). Updates will be released simultaneously across all platforms at the same time.

Those joining the fight now will be able to pick up the Season 8 Battle Pass and get 30 free levels immediately and double XP if they login during the first two weeks after launch. And yes, the game is still free to download even on the Nintendo Switch.


“It’s been two years since we launched Apex Legends and we have continued to push the genre forward in meaningful and innovative ways season-to-season with new Legends, maps, weapons, unique modes and much more,” said Chad Grenier, Game Director, Respawn. “We’re also continuing to bring the game to more players on new platforms and with the Nintendo Switch launch, being able to drop in during the current season is a huge win for us. We’re excited to give players a chance to suit up as their favorite Legend even if they are away from their living room. We’ve got a lot of exciting surprises in store this year and we’re going to continue giving players even more ways to compete and for those new to the game more reasons to come play.”
