Developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts, Apex Legends is a BR shooter where “legendary characters with powerful abilities team up to battle fame and fortune on the fringes of the Frontier.”

The game, which was announced, revealed, and released all on February 4, is completely free-to-play and can now be downloaded on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.

Seemingly coming out of nowhere, Apex Legends was suddenly thrust into the spotlight after plans of its development and secret release were leaked last week.

Since then, the battle royale community has been talking about the genre’s newest title all the way up and through its announcement stream, which included this cinematic reveal trailer.

Those who want to download the game on PC must visit its official webpage on the Origin website, where they then click the orange button labeled ‘Get the Game.’

As for the two consoles, players must go to their respective system’s in-game store and type in ‘Apex Legends’ in the search bar, after which the game should appear and be available for download.

Downloading Apex Legends on PC is as easy as visiting the website and clicking “Get the Game.”
