Apex Legends is a battle royale shooter game which is quite popular on the PC platform. Its popularity has made APEX Legends penetrate the mobile platform through APEX Legends Mobile which was released on May 17, 2022 yesterday. However, not even a year old, EA as the publisher of this game announced that APEX would soon be closed in the next few months. What is the reason?

At first glance, APEX Legends Mobile doesn't seem to have a crucial problem that requires this game to be closed. The reason is, at a relatively young age, APEX Legends is still diligent in providing updates in the game so that players can get a better experience playing this game.

Therefore, it is very surprising that suddenly in EA's financial projections for the 3rd quarter of the 2023 fiscal year, EA announced through its social media that APEX Legends Mobile will be withdrawn from the market soon.

In this upload, EA and Respawn Entertainment explain the reasons why APEX Legends Mobile has decided to close. The problem is, they think that the quality of the content presented by APEX Legends Mobile is still below the standard of what they expected when they released the mobile version of APEX Legends.

Of course, this can indeed happen, because the high mechanics supported by PC devices that have controllers in the form of a mouse and keyboard are indeed impossible to translate 100% with a controller in the form of a smartphone screen. Not to mention the gameplay and graphics adjustments that should be friendlier with limited access from smartphones. So, their reason for closing this game does make sense if it's to protect the quality of the APEX Legends that they maintain.

For those of you who play this game, you can keep playing until May 1, 2023. In this 3 month period, it is hoped that you will be able to enjoy APEX Legends Mobile and spend the rest of the syndicate gold so that you don't buy it in vain. The reason is, all in-app purchases that you have made will not be refunded according to the EA User Agreement.
