Here's everything you need to know about Apex Legends Mobile, from the release date, to pre-registration, and the minimum specs you will need to play.
Apex Legends Mobile was always going to happen. There's a massive global playerbase for mobile, in a way there never will be for PC or console. So why wouldn't such a huge brand, with a beloved product, not try and make a mobile version of the game? Hence, we've also heard recently about Warzone Mobile. But unlike Warzone Mobile, Apex Legends Mobile has arrived. Here's how to play the hottest new mobile battle royale!

When Is The Apex Legends Mobile Release Time Globally?
Apex Legends Mobile will open up region by region on May 17 at the following time:
Region | Local Launch Time |
North America | 02:00 PT |
| South America | 06:00 BRT |
| Europe | 05:00 BST |
| Asia Central | 14:30 IST |
APAC North | 13:00 JST |
| APAC South | 10:00 AEST |

How Much Does Apex Legends Mobile Cost?
Apex Legends Mobile will be completely free to download and play in all regions. What a relief. But, this is Apex Legends, with some of the best character skins and weapon skins in the business, so you should expect them to push the store and Apex Packs as much as possible.
What Is The Apex Legends Mobile Gameplay Like?
From everything we've seen, it looks like they want to copy the original game as faithfully as possible, but in low-resolution. You should expect the same overall gameplay feel, with its focus on movement and teamwork, and all the same modes, even including Ranked. Unfortunately, you should also expect cheating:
I think my excitement ends here for Apex Legends Mobile from apexlegends
How Many Legends Are In Apex Legends Mobile?
So far, the following legends have been confirmed for Apex Legends Mobile: Bloodhound, Gibraltar, Lifeline, Wraith, Bangalore, Octane, Mirage, Pathfinder, and Caustic. But besides these, they have specifically mentioned that more content and Legends are expected to be in the launch-day version of Apex Legends Mobile.
Which Map Will Apex Legends Mobile Be Played On?
World's Edge is the only confirmed map, but more are expected to come either on-launch or shortly thereafter. This will probably be well received, Olympus might be the best map, but World's End is also a popular choice.
Will Apex Legends Mobile Support Cross-Platform?
No, Apex Legends Mobile will not support cross-platform play with PC or console. That's great news for mobile players. If console players have it tough against PC players, imagine how imbalanced a poor old mobile user would feel. Results would be devastating.
Apex Legends Mobile Pre-Registration
You can pre-register now to be one of the participants to play Apex Legends Mobile in your region, and if you do so, you will get in-game rewards. To pre-register, simply follow the respective links depending on your phone type:

Simple. And now you're ready to play Apex Legends, once it launches in your region.
Apex Legends Mobile Pre-Registration Rewards
If you pre-register for Apex Legends Mobile, then you gain the rewards based on how many total registrations there have been around the globe. As more players join, the devs will make a new future milestone, and release an accompanying reward. Here are the rewards for pre-registering so far:
Registrations Globally | Reward Unlocked For Pre-Registered Players |

| 1,000,000 | Fateful Games - Banner Frame |

And besides these cosmetics, we're absolutely certain that Apex Legends Mobile will have an extensive cosmetics store.
Apex Legends Mobile Minimum Specs
Generally speaking, any phone made in the last five years should be fine, but anything older than the iPhone 6S or the Galaxy S7 will struggle. Here are the exact specs for both Android and iOS devices.
Apex Legends Mobile Minimum Specs For Android
| Soc | Snapdragon 435/ Hisilicon Kirin 650/ Mediatek Helio P20/ Exynos 7420 |
| OS | Android 6.0 |

Alternatives To Mobile
If your phone is not able to run Apex Legends, or it can't run it well, then you can alternatively play on PC with Android emulators like BlueStacks. Of course, we haven't seen the Apex Legends Mobile terms of service yet, and you should read for yourself at launch to know whether such emulators are allowed. But for most mobile games, using a 3rd party service to access Android is okay.
And that's about everything we can tell you in regard to Apex Legends Mobile right now. Who are you going to play first? One of the best beginner Legends? Or perhaps someone annoying to wind up your teammates?
