Just a while ago, Respawn Entertainment had finally launched its mobile port of Apex Legends. The new smartphone game had been in beta for sometime now, but it was finally released to the global market. And now, it appears to be a big hit in multiple markets.

For those unaware, Apex Legends Mobile, similar to its PC counterpart, is a battle royale title that features unique characters with distinct abilities. During its initial pre-registrations, the game saw more than 15 million players signing up. Following its full release, the game has seen explosive success across the globe. It even became the most downloaded game on the App Store in more than 60 countries.

As of right now, the Apex Legends Mobile is now the most downloaded game in multiple regions like the UK, India, Germany, the UK, Japan, and other nations. Furthermore, the title has even managed to quickly become one of the top 10 most downloaded iPhone games in over 89 countries. In India, the game became the top free game on the App Store, overtaking Battlegrounds Mobile India (PUBG Mobile remake for the Indian market).

Apex Legends is one of the most popular multiplayer games in the market and also one of the largest IP in the battle royale genre as well. So it arrives as no surprise that the mobile version of the game is also exploding in popularity right now.

Apex Legends Mobile is now available for Pre Registrations for Android smartphones. The mobile port of one of the most popular battle royale title is finally arriving to smartphones and is now on Google Play Store.

As of right now, Respawn, the studio behind the popular Titanfall and Apex Legends franchise, is testing an early version of the game with a limited number of players. In other words, this build of the battle royale shooter is not the final version and will likely go through several changes and updates before its actual release. So, players that are able to play this early version can expect overhauls or major changes post release, along with the usual bugs and instabilities.

Apex Legends Mobile has already garnered a lot of positive reactions from players that were able to enter the regional bets testing in select countries like Philippines and India. At the moment, the largest difference between the PC version and the mobile port is the game’s shift to a third person perspective by default. Notably, this third person mode was available on PC and consoles for a limited time, but it seems to be the default for smartphones.

Keep in mind that the port is currently only available for Android smartphones and we have no news of when the game is being brought to Apple iOS. So stay tuned for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding this matter.

When considering popular mobile shooter games available presently, Fortnite, PUBG and Call of Duty are among the top three most popular ones. EA’s Apex Legends is as popular as the trio but the issue is that it is not available on mobile. That may change soon as EA’s CEO Andrew Wilson is reported to have disclosed during a conference call that the company has deliberated on having the popular battle royale game get a soft launch by the end of the year.

The Apex Legends is a popular game which was meant to give EA an entry point into the lucrative battle royale gaming market. However, the popularity of the game has diminished for a while now, perhaps due to the unavailability of a mobile version. The fortunes of the game may experience some change when it becomes available to the billions of mobile gamers worldwide.

The game may not become available to gamers worldwide this year, though, as a soft launch means only some markets will get the new game on mobile. The company did not reveal the region that’s will become available by the year’s end but we expect the rollout to be expanded by the early part of 2021.

The mobile game scene has turned out to be a very lucrative one. The industry has also experienced some upsurge due to the COVID 19 lockdown and other restrictions. Data released by Sensor Tower showed that Tencent’s PUBG emerged as the top-grossing mobile game in May 2020 with an estimated revenue of $226 million USD. It is no surprise EA is planning to get on board with its own battle royale game which shares the same plot with the PUBG Mobile. That is, you jump from an aircraft, search for weapons and other loot and try to remain the last one standing.
