Publisher Electronic Arts and developer Respawn Entertainment has announced that Apex Legends Mobile will end service on May 1, less than a year since it launched on May 17, 2022, and will no longer be playable afterwards. The companies state that this is a result of “Factors beyond our control.” For now, Apex Legends Mobile is available for iOS and Android devices.
The full message via Respawn Entertainment can be seen below:
We have made the painful decision to sunset Apex Legends Mobile.
This decision does not come with ease. Factors beyond our control have prevented us from maintaining the high-quality experience and content that our players deserve.
As a result, the game will sunset on May 1, 2023 at 4:00 p.m. PT after which it will no longer be playable.
Our gratitude to our players and teams for joining us on Apex Legends Mobile, even if for a short while, is unending. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you
