How does it play? In this battle royale game, you compete in squads of three. You can either start with friends or enter the queue alone to be matched with other players.

Then it’s time for legend selection. Each player chooses a character with unique abilities. At the start of a match, you jump onto the map together, search for loot like armor and weapons, and try to survive as long as possible. Only one squad can become the winner.

How does the title monetize? Apex Legends is free to play but offers an in-game store. Here you can buy cosmetic items and Apex Packs. These are loot boxes that also offer cosmetic content. Players can purchase additional legends beyond the free ones. These can be unlocked through gameplay or bought for real money. There are no pay-to-win elements here.
