In-Game Store Details
Just like the PC and console launches, Apex Legends Mobile will have an in-game store and offer purchasable content. They can choose from themed, time-limited Store Vaults, Lite Crates, and Apex Packs. It also has options for crafting and the ability to buy personally-curated cosmetic items in the For You tab. Premium Battle Pass and PremiumPLUS Battle Pass are also being offered.
What Happens to My Items That I Bought and My Progress?
The store can be accessed until May 3, 2022 only. The account progress and unlocked items that got earned during the limited regional launch period will be reset before game launch. Items that got purchased during this time using in-game currency will be converted to in-game currency of an equivalent value and will be available in their accounts when the full game launches later this year.
To show their appreciation for the limited regional launch players, Respawn Entertainment is giving them extra 25 percent bonus in-game currency that will be credited to their accounts. The Legendary skins earned at the end of the Battle Pass will be carried over to the full launch. Do note to use the same account that was used in the limited regional launch when launching the full game to access the content.
Players joining the limited regional launch can earn limited rewards for taking part like a limited badge, limited weapon charm, and a limited banner frame, which can be brought to the full launch.
When Will Apex Legends Mobile Fully Launch?
Apex Legends Mobile will fully launch on Android and iOS at a later time. More updates will be announced by Respawn Entertainment and EA soon.
