Apex Legends is coming to Nintendo Switch on March 9, developer Respawn announced.
Director Chad Grenier wrote on a blog that the Switch version of Apex Legends will be released with cross platform functionality, season 8 content and “full feature parity” with other versions.
Worried about being late for the current season? The good news is that Switch players who purchase the season 8 battle pass will receive 30 battle pass levels for free. Players will also earn double XP during the first two weeks after launch.
Porting Apex Legends to your smallest screen is still a huge achievement, and we couldn’t have done it without our friends at the Panic Button, ”said Grenier. “We are very proud of what the team was able to achieve with some smart optimizations for the Switch port to offer a complete Apex Legends experience on the go.”
The 8th season of Apex Legends began today, featuring the arrival of its 16th character, demolition enthusiast Fuse, a new lever-action rifle and the usual range of new cosmetics and battle pass items.
