Apex Legends Mobile launches with limited features

It is striking that India is not included in the list, despite being deemed one of the biggest markets for mobile gaming. The first beta test only took place in April 2021 for India and Indonesia.

The limited launch will not have full-fledged features, coming with only a select few. Players will be able to choose from Bloodhound, Gibraltar, Lifeline, Wraith, Bangalore, Octane, Mirage, Pathfinder, and Caustic.

With 60 players in 20 teams and many characters to select from, the mobile version has the same ethos as the PC/console version. However, the game won’t feature cross-play with the console or PC versions. In 2021, Apex Legends reached 100 Million users, which is a huge milestone.

With revenues of over $12 billion in the past two years, the mobile shooter category is an exponentially growing market. With such a huge market, no big publisher wants to be left behind. EA will be hoping for the same success with the mobile game as its PC version.
