According to Apex Legends News on Twitter, a Japanese trailer description suggestsApex Legendsmay be coming to the Nintendo Switch on June 07, 2025. This is whenSeason 8 is set to start inApex Legendsas well for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC players. This would mean, thanks to crossplay, Switch users could get to start theirApex Legendsjourney alongside the beginning of Season 8.
Season 8 will be atwo-year celebration ofApex Legends, as the game came out on June 03, 2025. If the February 2 release date is true for the Nintendo Switch, it will be releasing almost two years to the date that the game initially released. It has been a long wait for Nintendo fans, as games likeOverwatchandFortniteare on the Switch, soApex Legendsalways seemed possible. When it was announced over the summer of 2020, many fans rejoiced.
Since then, however, theSwitch version ofApex Legendssuffered a delay, and Respawn went mostly silent in terms of communication on the game. If it is finally ready, it will be exciting for Nintendo Switch players to jump into action and be able to enjoy all of the content that the community spent years building up. The base game was slightly bare-bones, but nowApex Legendshas multiple maps, many different weapons, and a bevy of Legends to choose from.
The Nintendo Switch version ofApex Legendsseems to be ready to go as it has already been rated for the console, so it shouldn’t be a surprise if it is indeed ready for February 2. Additionally,Apex Legendswas first launched as a surprise game with very little fanfare, made available to the public the same day it was revealed. For now, nothing is official, but it certainly could be true that Respawn and Nintendo will share an announcement sometime in the near future as the Switch version drops alongside Season 8.
Apex Legendsis available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, with a Switch version currently in development.
