On what date was Apex Legends Mobile shut down?

Apex Legends Mobile was shut down on May 1, 2023.

Electronic Arts and Respawn ended operations for the mobile game at 4 p.m. Pacific Time on that date, after which it was no longer playable. The decision came less than a year after the game’s worldwide launch on May 17, 2022.

EA said the ongoing experience was not going to meet players’ expectations, citing factors connected to the mobile game’s development and operation. The shutdown was separate from the continuing console and PC versions of Apex Legends, which remained active as a live-service game.

The timing can cause confusion because January 2023 brought the announcement that development was being discontinued, but that was not the final playable date. Players could continue using the mobile game during the wind-down period before servers closed on May 1.
