On what date did Apex Legends release for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S?

Apex Legends released for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on March 29, 2022.

These were native current-generation versions, rather than entirely new games. Respawn announced that the upgraded editions would bring platform-specific improvements, including enhanced visuals and performance designed for newer hardware. Existing players could continue using the same core Apex Legends experience and play across supported platforms.

The date is easy to confuse with other major Apex launches. The original game debuted on PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One on February 4, 2019. The Nintendo Switch edition followed on March 9, 2021, while the separate mobile version arrived on iOS and Android on May 17, 2022.

The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S release also began during the Warriors Collection Event, which launched on the same date. That event temporarily brought back the Control mode and added other seasonal content to the live game.
