Why is Apex Legends Mobile shutting down?

As stated by the developers on the official blog, Apex Legends Mobile will be available to play May 1, 2023, after which the game will be removed from all regions. The blog stressed that the decision behind the Apex Legends Mobile Sunset is platform-specific. It also mentions that despite a brilliant launch, the content has fallen short of the bar, which is why Apex Legends Mobile is shutting down permanently.

Of course, fans are disappointed as Apex Legends Mobile featured some unique characters like Fade and Rhapsody. These characters have never been seen before and were only developed for the mobile version of Apex Legends. The mobile FPS title also had different modes in which you could participate outside of the traditional battle royale and even included the third-person perspective. Apex Legends Mobile also introduced the perk and loadout system, which allowed customization options for Legend abilities.
