In a significant move for the gaming community, Respawn Entertainment has announced that the Nintendo Switch version of Apex Legends will be shutting down this summer. This decision marks the end of an era for players who have enjoyed the battle royale experience on the handheld console since its launch in 2021. Starting August 4, 2026, players will no longer be able to access the game on the Switch, and the final update will roll out with Season 29.
