Apex Legends is coming to Nintendo Switch very soon. Today, EA announced that the portable version of its sci-fi battle royale will be released on the Nintendo tablet on March 9.
Chad Grenier, ApexThe game director says that the new version will include “multiplatform game, our latest seasonal content and full feature parity with the other versions of the game”. Apex Legends originally released in early 2019, and a Switch version was announced last June. It is developed by Respawn, the studio behind games like Fall of the Titan and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
The Switch version is released not long after the game’s eighth season, which starts today. To make up for the difference, EA says that “since we’re launching a few weeks after the start of season eight, Switch players will receive 30 free levels for their season eight battle pass. During the first two weeks after launch, playing on the Switch will also give you double XP. “
The Nintendo device is increasingly becoming a great portable option for some of the largest free-to-play multiplayer games out there, with Apex joining titles like Fifteen days, Rocket Leagueand Spellbreak.
