Apex Legends soft launches on mobile later this year Pinged you. News by Emma Kent Contributor Updated on 24 Jun 2020 3 comments Ever since launch, Respawn has been open about its plans to bring Apex Legends to Switch and mobile - and while we recently learned the game will appear on Switch this autumn, it seems like a mobile soft launch is also on the cards for 2020.
