Apex Legends Is Coming to Switch and Steam This Fall

Apex Legends, Respawn's popular battle royale shooter, is coming to Nintendo Switch and Steam this fall, complete with cross-play. That means you'll be able to play with friends regardless of which system you're playing on. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/18/apex-legends-season-5-lost-treasures-collection-event-trailer-ea-play-2020"] Since its surprise launch in February of 2019, Apex Legends has been only available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC via EA's Origin service. But EA and Respawn are finally expanding Apex Legends to more services like Steam and Switch. Apex Legends recently debuted its Season 5 content along with the new legend character, Loba. Respawn plans to continue that trend of new content later this month when the Lost Treasures event kicks off on June 23. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=apex-legends-lost-treasures-collection-screenshots&captions=true"] The new limited-time event comes with cosmetics, the return of the Armed and Dangerous mode, and a new storyline involving Crypto. There will also be a new item called the Mobile Respawn, which as it says on the tin, lets you revive your teammates wherever you set the mobile console down.
