Apex Legends is finally coming to the Nintendo Switch this fall, with full crossplay enabled with other platforms (PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Origin). That’s a big move for Respawn Entertainment and Electronic Arts, as EA is finally moving to the Switch in a big way. EA made the announcement at the EA Play 2020 event today.

Apex Legends is one of EA’s biggest games, and the company’s Respawn Entertainment studio is investing a lot in the franchise to make sure that it stays popular as an evergreen free-to-play battle royale shooter.
