Following the release of the mobile version of Apex Legends, many are asking the question: is Apex Legends Mobile cross platform? To answer this and more, have a quick scan of the below, it won’t take but a minute of your precious time.

Is Apex Legends Mobile cross platform?

All cross-platform means is that the game is available across multiple platforms. You can download Apex Legends Mobile to play on both iPhones and Android systems, so yes – Apex Legends Mobile is cross platform.

Is Apex Legends Mobile crossplay?

Apex Legends Mobile is crossplay between different mobile devices / Operating Systems – that is Android and iPhone users can both play against each other online without any problem.

Apex Legends Mobile is not crossplay with the console/PC version of the game, which is hardly surprising, given that any players using the mobile control system would be outmatched by those using a console controller, and severely so vs mouse and keyboard players on the PC. Besides this, the version of the game played by Apex Legends Mobile season 1 players differs in terms of the playable characters and usable guns & weapons, and has other gameplay tweaks/buffs/nerfs which make the two versions incompatible.

Is Apex Legends Mobile cross progression?

There is no cross progression on Apex Legends Mobile with the console/PC version of the game. Bother iterations are essentially different titles, with different coding, and a different roster of characters (such as Fade, who is mobile-exclusive) and playable weapons, so progress between the main version of the game (which is on Season 13 at the time of writing) with Apex Legends Mobile (which is on its first season) is non-existent.

Cross progression between Android and iOS mobiles does exist, however.

Apex Legends Mobile system requirements

As it’s designed for mobile users, Apex Legends Mobile is (obviously) a lot less demanding than the PC/console version of the game. Below are the official Apex Legends Mobile minimum system requirements, which will be able to play the game, though we’d recommend using something a bit more powerful if you want to get a decent Frame Rate when playing.
