EA shutting down Apex Legends Mobile and development on its Battlefield mobile game
Electronic Arts and Respawn have announced Apex Legends Mobile will be sunsetted in May, with EA also confirming it has ceased development on a mobile Battlefield title.
According to Respawn, the decision to take Apex Legends Mobile offline did not come easy, but “factors” beyond its control have prevented it from “maintaining the high-quality experience and content” players deserve and expect.
In an official announcement, the companies stated that despite a strong start, the content pipeline for Apex Legends Mobile began to “fall short of that bar for quality, quantity, and cadence.”

Battlefield Mobile Canceled To Better Deliver On “Vision” For The Franchise
Battlefield Mobile, a free-to-play mobile version of EA and DICE’s multiplayer shooter, is no more. The game ran beta tests in select territories back in November 2022 but will now cease development.
The news comes as part of EA’s Q3 2023 financial results, where it was also announced that Apex Legends Mobile has been canceled and Star Wars: Jedi Survivor has been delayed. Much like Apex Legends Mobile, Battlefield Mobile was planned to operate separately with no cross-play or cross-progression between it and its PC and console counterparts, and would feature its own unique cosmetics, battle pass seasons, and rewards.
“As the industry has evolved and our strategy to create a deeply connected Battlefield ecosystem has taken shape, we decided to pivot from the current direction to best deliver on our vision for the franchise and meet the expectations of players,” a statement on EA’s website reads. “We remain highly committed to unlocking Battlefield’s enormous potential. We’re hard at work evolving Battlefield 2042 and are in pre-production on our future Battlefield experiences across the globe.
