In Supported Countries

If you reside in one of the supported soft launch countries and had pre-registered to try out the game, you don’t need to do much to install and play Apex Legends Mobile. Simply head to the Google Play Store listing of the game (Free), and you should see the “Install” button. Hit it and download the game to start playing as one of your favorite Apex Legends Mobile characters.

Moreover, if you had selected the “Install when available” option while pre-registering on your Android device, the game will automatically be downloaded when it goes live in your country. Follow the Apex Legends Mobile download link for Android above to jump into the action right away.

In Unsupported Countries

Now comes the most important part, if you reside outside the supported regional launch countries, say in the US, UK, or India, you cannot download Apex Legends Mobile directly from the Play Store. You will need to rely on a workaround to play the game.

Though unexpected, as the announcement of the soft launch said iOS users will need to wait to try out the game, Apex Legends Mobile has been released on iPhone as part of the Limited Regional launch. Much like its counterpart, you can head over to the official Apple iOS App Store listing for Apex Legends Mobile (Free) to download the game on your iPhone.

Since there was no pre-registration for the iOS version, you can simply go to the iOS App Store download link for Apex Legends Mobile to install and play the game.

If you wish to play Apex Legends Mobile outside the ten eligible countries on iOS, you will need to use the same workaround as Android on your iPhone as well. You will need to change the region of your device to install geo-restricted apps on your iPhone. Follow the instructions in our guide linked here to switch the region on your iOS device. If you run into issues while changing your App Store region on iOS, follow this guide to find a solution to the problem.

Q. How do I download Apex Legends on iOS?

As was the case in the beta tests as well, Respawn doesn’t entertain sideloading Apex Legends Mobile on your Android smartphone.
