Apex Legends is coming to Nintendo Switch – and crossplay is confirmed
First-person battle royale shooter Apex Legends is coming to Nintendo Switch and Steam, it’s been announced by Respawn Entertainment during its EA Play Live stream. It’s coming to both platforms this ‘fall’ (September through November).
Apex Legends Crossplay will be added, too, uniting the player bases across the current and future platforms: PS4, Xbox One, or PC (and eventually Nintendo Switch). PC players on Origin can enjoy the game with those on Steam, too.
The newest Apex Legends season 5 event was announced, as well, which is called Lost Treasures, coming on June 23. A new limited-time event will focus on Crypto, introducing a drone that players can use to revive other players. Here’s a trailer for that:
