Apex Legends Mobile will not be playable after May 2023.
The release of Electronic Arts’ (EA) third quarter 2023 earnings call had a lot of news regarding the abundance of video games. One of the titles included was Apex Legends Mobile, which was released just last year. Unfortunately, this is not good news. Respawn Entertainment and EA have announced that Apex Legends Mobile will be shutting down permanently in May of this year.
The news that Apex Legends Mobile is sunsetting came after the release of EA’s Q3 2023 earnings report. Apex Legends Mobile will permanently shut down on May 1, 2023, at 4:00 PM PT/7:00 PM ET, and will no longer be playable thereafter. Developer Respawn Entertainment provided a statement about Twitter about the untimely shutdown.
While it’s not uncommon for online games to see their servers shut down at some point in their lifetime, Apex Legends Mobile is an incredibly young game. The game began rolling out to specific regions in February 2022 and then launched for all iOS and Android devices in May. Less than one year after that launch, the game will no longer be playable.
Apex Legends Mobile wasn’t the only EA game that had bad news to share in the company’s latest earnings report. It was also announced that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has been delayed by six weeks.
