Dear Reader:
EA and Respawn worked with Panic Button to bring Apex Legends to Switch
We learned earlier today that Apex Legends is coming to Switch on March 9th, 2021. Both EA and Respawn were involved with the port, but it appears they partnered with Panic Button to do a lot of the heavy lifting. This was confirmed by Chad Grenier, Game Director on Apex Legends, in the statement below.
Porting Apex Legends to its smallest screen yet is a major achievement, and we couldn’t have done it without our friends at Panic Button. We’re very proud of what the team has been able to achieve with some smart optimizations for the Switch port to deliver a full-featured Apex Legends experience on the go.
It was also announced that Switch players will be granted 30 free levels for their Season 8 Battle Pass, and for the first two weeks after launch, playing on Switch will also earn you double XP.
