So It Was Just a Quick Cash Grab Huh…” – Apex Legends Fans in Despair as Respawn Entertainment Announces Major Platform Exit

Apex Legends Mobile fans have woken up to a sad day as Respawn Entertainment announced one of the most tragic news.

On May 17, 2022, Respawn dropped Apex Legends Mobile, enthralling fans from different parts of the world. They wanted their mobile fans to have a taste of this epic game, as it broke multiple records in the industry. Fans adored the fictional world, staying glued to their screens for a devoted grind. And right at the drop, the mobile version became the talk of the town. 

Fans applauded the franchise for the first season, as they added every minute detail present in the PC and console versions. After all, it was tough to make the game realistic, as mobiles could only support certain settings. Still, Respawn did a fantastic job in development, publishing the perfect replica of the original. On top of that, they even added dedicated legends to their mobile version, which paved the way for the game’s uniqueness. But there were multiple problems, casting a dark shadow. And now, keeping them in mind, the franchise pushed out a disheartening statement. 

Apex Legends fans disappointed as devs announce exit from the mobile industry 

On Feb 1, 2023, Respawn Entertainment’s Twitter channel uploaded a new post. There, they broke out one of the most disappointing news; an exit from the mobile industry. Apparently, the franchise was not satisfied with the current situation of the game, leading them to land this decision.

However, they decided to acknowledge their fan’s feelings and extend the game until May 2023. As of now, the devs have confirmed the game to be in the market until 4 PM PDT on May 1, 2023, after which they will discontinue it. 

Apart from that, all in-game cosmetics will be available to use until the announced time. “All of your purchases will remain in your account for you to enjoy until 4 PM PDT on May 1, 2023. Your existing in-game virtual currency balances will persist in your account and can be spent on in-game content between now and 4 PM PDT on May 1, 2023. You’ll be able to enjoy all previously purchased and unlocked in-game content throughout the ninety (90) day sunset period as well,” they said. Fans were not pleased by this, as comments flew with one of them saying, “So it was just a quick cash grab huh?”

Lastly, it is important to understand that this announcement only limits the mobile industry, as the game will continue to flourish on all other platforms. But well, for the mobile players, all we can say is – it was a great year!
