When Will Apex Legends be on Switch?

When will Apex Legends be on the Nintendo Switch is a question many gamers have been asking since its release in 2019. The game was released for both PlayStation and Xbox, as well as PC, but remains off the Switch.

In a recent announcement made in late October, Respawn Entertainment announced the game isn't ready to be brought to the Switch. The announcement came from Chad Grenier, the game director for Apex Legends.

Grenier did not give a general or specific date to when the game will be released for Switch, but explained it simply isn't ready for the real experience Switch players deserve. He fears that rushing the game would be a disservice to the players who have waited so patiently.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought about new challenges for the developing team, which Grenier explains pushed back the release date for Switch. Apex Legends for Switch will most likely be available in 2021 with speculations pointing towards the early to middle months of the new year.

Upon release, Switch players will have full support for cross-platform play, as well as up to date seasonal content. The wait is taking longer than expected, but players will certainly be happy with the results.
