Apex Legends Mobile Let’s Jam Event Guide
Apex Legends Mobile Season 2.5: Hyperbeat went live earlier this week, with a multitude of new in-game events launching alongside the Hyperbeat battle pass. Let’s Jam is the latest in this series of new Season 2.5 events, and the music-themed LTE is absolutely packed with free rewards players can earn by participating, including mobile-exclusive skins for Lifeline and Mirage.
Let’s Jam tasks players with performing a series of tasks on Kings Canyon, most of which must be completed at the Pythas Theater POI, which is currently docked at Airbase. Home to Rhapsody‘s concerts, the Pythas Theater is filled with VIP Supply Bins and other unique loot mechanics, like the control panel players can use to start a holographic Rhapsody concert that drops high-tier loot as it drops the beat. But don’t let the catchy tunes and bright colors fool you–the Pythas Theater is a very popular POI that frequently leads to chaotic early game battles. Keep reading for an in-depth guide to completing the Let’s Jam event and unlocking all 13 event rewards.
Getting started
An advertisement for the Let’s Jam event will be one of the first things to pop up on your screen when you open Apex Legends Mobile. But if you accidentally close the ad before you get a chance to press the “Go!” button, don’t worry–the event hub can also be accessed from the main lobby screen. To manually navigate to the event hub, select the “Season Event” banner on the right side of the screen, then select the “Limited-Time” tab at the top of the screen. Let’s Jam is currently at the top of the events list, so this will automatically take you to the event hub.
Steam mobile app beta lets you test Valve’s new look store

A new Steam mobile app beta is underway, with Valve aiming to modernise its storefront for mobile devices, and you can join now to test the new-look app for yourself. The limited beta program is live as of August 24, giving users access to a version of the app that has been rebuilt on a new framework with a modern design, with Valve hoping to collect feedback ahead of the full release.
Along with the usual functionality of browsing the store, confirming item trades, and accessing Steam Guard codes, the new Steam mobile app includes the ability to sign in using a QR code, an improved library, support for multiple accounts, and smarter Steam notifications. Valve is urging fans to jump in and try the update for themselves, so it can get feedback from across a wide range of phones and other mobile devices.
A blog post on the Steam Community site (spotted by GamesRadar+) outlines the new update, encouraging any users who “already use the Steam mobile app and are willing to provide feedback on the update” to join. Because of Apple guidelines, there will be a limitation of 10,000 users on iOS devices, and people on iOS will also be required to install TestFlight before joining the beta, so you’ll have to be quick if you’re on an Apple device.

Valve is testing a new Steam mobile app
Steam’s new mobile app looks way, way better

I’ve been using the Steam iOS app quite a bit since getting a Steam Deck, but every time I opened the app, I had to deal with an interface that just felt old — the overall design hadn’t been updated in a very long time. It seems Valve felt that way, too, because it’s now beta testing a new version of the app that looks dramatically different and, if you ask me, dramatically better.
In a blog post, Valve mentioned the new design as one of the key new features of the app, and the improvements, at least in my brief testing on iOS, are immediately obvious. For example, the app now has a navigation bar on the bottom of the screen where you can navigate to things like the store, your news feed, and the Steam Guard section.
