But a mobile port just released for Android and iOS earlier this week, so I decided to put my hundreds of hours of Apex experience to the test using touchscreen controls. Overall, this is a solid mobile port, which I tested on both a Galaxy S22 Ultra and iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Touchscreen controls on a first-person shooter can be pretty tricky. Apex Legends Mobile is pretty standard fare, especially if you've played PUBG Mobile or Call of Duty Mobile. Your movement "joystick" is on the left side of the screen while you use your right thumb to adjust your view.
Apex Legends is known how easy it is to get around, especially using the slide. The mobile version captures this very well, even if it takes some getting used to. Executing a perfect slide to get out of trouble or close the gap with an opponent never ceases to satisfy me.
Over on the right side are buttons for crouch, auto fire down sights, manual aim down sights, hip fire, jump, reload, sight configuration buttons, ping, tactical ability and ultimate. It's very crowded, overwhelming, and difficult to adjust to, especially if you're used to playing on console or PC.
I did most of my testing on my iPhone 13 Pro Max, which is the most powerful gaming phone you can get right now thanks to the A15 Bionic chip. So of course, I maxed everything out graphically. The top-tier option is Original, which I imagine is similar to the last-gen or Switch settings.
You can also get higher frame rates for smoother gameplay. With everything maxed out, I regularly saw 60-80 fps while playing on my iPhone 13 Pro Max. This made for a great experience overall, helping me react to movement faster. (When playing Apex with my friends, I'm regularly the lookout and scout, so that play style translated well to mobile.)
Apex Legends Mobile is not a one-to-one port. Most of the legends from the regular game aren't here. I'm a Fuse main because who doesn't like to chuck grenades as far as possible, but I made do with Wraith, my backup legend. You start off with Bloodhound, but you can unlock Octane, Wraith, Lifeline, Gibraltar, Pathfinder, Bangalore, Caustic, Mirage, and Fade. I imagine more will get added later.
I should also note that your purchases/unlocks on regular Apex don't translate over to the mobile version. That means you'll need to unlock all of the skins and such again. The battle pass is also a separate purchase. I can't say I'm a fan of this, but I also don't see how EA and Respawn could have pulled this off (since cross-play is off the table).
However, after a few hours and several matches, I can safely say that Apex Legends Mobile has earned a permanent spot on my phone. It might even unseat Call of Duty Mobile for me, but that might depend on my mood. Sometimes, I don't want to deal with the stress of a battle royale.
Apex Legends Mobile is free-to-play, but just watch out for microtransactions. This can sting if you've already dumped a lot into the regular game over the years. But everything said, this mobile port is worth picking up.

Apex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale-hero shooter game developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts. It was released for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One in February 2019, for Nintendo Switch in March 2021, and for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in March 2022. A mobile version of the game designed for touchscreens titled Apex Legends Mobile was released in May 2022 on Android and iOS. The game supports cross-platform play, excluding the aforementioned mobile platforms.
Before the match, players form into two- or three-player squads, and select from pre-designed characters with distinctive abilities, known as "Legends". The game has two gameplay modes. In "Battle Royale", up to 20 three-person squads or 30 two-person duos land on an island and search for weapons and supplies before attempting to defeat all other players in combat. The available play area on the island shrinks over time, forcing players to keep moving or else find themselves outside the play area which can be fatal. The final team alive wins the round. In "Arenas", players form into three-player squads and fight against another squad in a 3v3 team deathmatch over a series of rounds to determine the winner of the match. Teams win when their team has at least 3 points and is 2 points ahead.
Apex Legends is set in the same science fiction universe as Respawn Entertainment's Titanfall series, with several characters from the Titanfall series appearing either as minor characters or playable Legends. Work on the game began around late 2016, though the project remained a secret right up until its launch. The game's release in 2019 came as a surprise, as until that point it had been assumed that Respawn Entertainment was working on a third installment to the Titanfall franchise, the studio's previous major game. Apex Legends received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its gameplay, progression system, and fusion of elements from various genres. Some considered it a worthy competitor to other battle royale games. Apex Legends surpassed 25 million players by the end of its first week, and 50 million within its first month. By April 2021, it had approximately 100 million players making it one of the most played video games of all time by player count.
Apex Legends is an online multiplayer battle royale game featuring squads of three players using pre-made characters with distinctive abilities, called "Legends", similar to those of hero shooters.[1] Alternate modes have been introduced allowing for single and for two-player squads since the game's release.[2][3] The game is free-to-play and monetized through microtransactions and loot boxes, which allow the player to spend both real money and in-game currency on cosmetic items, such as outfits for the Legends and new colors for weapons.[4][5]
Each match generally features twenty teams of three-player squads. Players can join friends in a squad or can be matched randomly with other players. Before the match, each player on the squad selects one of the 25 playable characters (as of season 19), with the exception that no character may be selected more than once by a squad. Each character in the squad has a unique design, personality, and abilities that provide different playstyles to the team. Starting with Season 16, each legend is assigned to one of the five unique class styles: Assault, Skirmisher, Recon, Controller and Support. All teams are then placed on an aircraft that passes over the game map. One player in each squad is the jumpmaster, selecting when the squad should skydive out of the aircraft and where to land with the concurrence of the other squad members. However, players are free to deviate from the squad's path.
Once on the ground, the squad can scavenge for weapons, armor, and other equipment that is scattered around buildings, or in crates randomly distributed around the map, while keeping an eye out for other squads. Apex Legends includes a nonverbal communication "ping system" which allows players to use their game controller to communicate to their squad certain directions, weapon locations, enemies, and suggested strategies.[6] While the game offers movement options similar to other shooters, it includes some of the gameplay features of previous Titanfall games, such as the ability to climb over short walls, slide down inclined surfaces, and use zip-lines to traverse an area quickly.[7]
Over time, the game's safe zone will reduce in size around a randomly-selected point on the map; players outside the safe zone take damage and may die if they do not reach the safe zone in time. This also confines squads to smaller spaces to force encounters. The last squad with any members left alive is crowned the "Apex Champions" of that match. Players who become knocked down in the course of a game can be revived by their squadmates. Should a player be killed completely, they can still be resurrected if their team member(s) collect their respawn banner, which appears at the place where they died, and bring it to one of several beacons on the island. The banner, however, must be collected within a time limit, before expiring and fully eliminating the player.[1]
