JAKARTA - Respawn Entertainment officially announced that Apex Legends will stop supporting the first generation Nintendo Switch console starting August 4, 2026.
In its official announcement on January 31, 2026, Respawn said that starting Season 30, Apex Legends will no longer be playable on Nintendo Switch, because the servers will be completely closed.
Thus, this decision makes Season 29 the last update for Apex Legends on Nintendo Switch. Even so, the game is still available and continues on Nintendo Switch 2, as well as on other platforms that are still supported.
"Our goal is to deliver a high-quality gaming experience. With Nintendo's investment in Switch 2, this platform offers a much more optimal handheld experience for Apex Legends," wrote Respawn.
Nintendo Switch players can still play Apex Legends as usual until August 4, 2026, including participating in matches and collecting rewards. However, after that date, the game will no longer be accessible at all.
Meanwhile, the purchase of premium currency and in-game items on Nintendo Switch will be discontinued starting August 4, 2026, although the balance you already have can still be used until that time limit.
Respawn ensures that all player progress, cosmetic items, and Apex Coins will remain safe because they are connected to their respective EA accounts. All data can automatically be used on Nintendo Switch 2, even if players just bought the console after August 2026.
This termination policy only applies to the first generation Nintendo Switch, and does not affect the Nintendo Switch 2. Apex Legends is also still available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
