Apex Legends is getting new game modes. The developers of the game have officially confirmed this on reddit. Fans hope to soon be able to play in solo and duo modes.
This is what Respawn says: In a reddit thread about the current status of Apex Legends, some players asked about further plans of the developers. Specifically, the user mergemonster asked about “new ways of playing” such as solo queues, skill-based matchmaking, and similar things.
In response, the community manager of Respawn, Jay “Jayfresh” Frechette, spoke up:
The short answer is: Yes. That’s all I can say about that.

This reaction came from Respawn shortly after discussing errors and plans, in which the new game modes also did not appear, although they have been on the community’s mind for a while.
Which modes are coming? There is also no information on which specific modes are intended. The community has been waiting for some time for a way to play Apex Legends without being in teams of three.
- Particularly a solo and a duo mode have been long desired and there have been ideas and feedback from the community about it for months.
- Many fans believe that a kind of deathmatch mode with its own rules would be a great opportunity.
- Professionals like Mendokusaii are pushing for a ranking system to allow players to compare themselves and have fairer matches.
- In his suggestions, Mendokusaii also speaks about wild modes like “Skull Town Only” that limit the map and let players train specific areas on it.
However, all of this is still just wishes and possible modes that could be worked on. None of it has been confirmed yet.
When can we expect the modes? There is still no date for when new modes are to be implemented into the game. Regarding the development of the game, Jayfresh only wrote that they are listening to player feedback.
He thanked several times for the criticism of the game. It seems that some of it will find its place in Apex Legends soon – as will the newly confirmed modes.
The fact that criticism is heard is also evident from the example of Mirage, who is supposed to receive a small buff after community pressure:
