What it is

Apex Legends is Respawn's free hero-shooter battle royale. Squads of legends — each with unique tactical abilities — drop in, loot and fight to be the last team standing, with best-in-class movement and gunplay. On PC it is played through the EA app (also on other stores), with regular new legends and seasons.

Why play it

  • Free to play with some of the smoothest movement in the genre.
  • Distinct legends add tactical depth without pay-to-win.
  • Frequent seasons, legends and limited-time modes.
Worth knowing

It is squad-focused — solo queue can be tougher without a coordinated team.
