In a significant shift for the gaming community, Respawn has announced that the Nintendo Switch version of Apex Legends will be shutting down this summer, specifically on August 4, 2026. This decision comes as the studio prepares to transition players to the upcoming Switch 2, ensuring that they can continue to enjoy the game with improved performance and features. Players will have until the end of Season 29 to enjoy their current experience before the game becomes unavailable on the original Switch.
