EA Sports and Respawn Entertainment introduced the Apex Legends Mobile game for smartphones and tablets in May 2022. After running for nearly a year, the game makers have now decided to shut down the game. EA has updated its official blog post to announce the shutdown. In this blog post, Respawn has also explained the reason for shutting down the popular mobile title after working on the game for months. The company claimed that it has started to fall short of the standard set for quality, quantity and cadence.
Apex Legends Mobile to shut down: How will it affect players
As per the blog post, the company will disable all real money in-app purchases in the game starting today (February 1). Apex Legends Mobile will soon be removed from Google Play Store and Apple App Store. The blog post also mentions that the game will cease its operations in all regions on May 1. After this date, Apex Legends Mobile will no longer be playable.
However, during these 3 months (before the game stops working permanently) players can spend their existing Syndicate Gold and continue playing the full game. The company has also mentioned it will not be providing refunds for real money purchases. This announcement complies with the terms of the EA User Agreement. The PC and console versions of Apex Legends will still be available for players to access.

Apex Legends Mobile to shut down: Respawn’s reaction
Respawn has mentioned that the shutting down of the Apex Legends Mobile title has been a “painful decision” for the gaming studio. The company explains that factors beyond its control have prevented it from maintaining the “high-quality experience and content.”
Last year, soon after its launch, Apex Legends Mobile reportedly became the most downloaded game in Apple App Store across 60 countries. The game also had a pre-registration count of 15 million players.
