Apex Legends

Apex Legends is a free battle royale shooter from Respawn Entertainment, the studio that created Titanfall. Up to 60 players are split into squads of three and fight on one of six maps. The game inherits fast movement from Titanfall: slides, dashes, parkour on some parts of the maps, and lively gunplay. It is a technical, fast shooter, not a sluggish cover-based shootout.

Season 29 "Overclocked" started on May 5, 2026 and will run until August 4. The new legend is Axle, a speed skirmisher: a passive speed boost while sliding (Drift), a tactical acceleration portal (Nitro Gate, up to 5 sec) and an ultimate that is a homing drone with knockback and a brief stun (Kickstart). The season has shifted the meta toward mobility and is one of the fastest in Apex history. Alongside this, Conduit received double tactical charges and became S-tier, Fuse was reworked into S-tier, and Alter was nerfed to A-tier.

New season mechanics: Deathbox Respawns let you revive an ally right from their death box, without a respawn beacon. Chain Healing lets medics (Lifeline, Conduit, Newcastle) heal a chain of allies. The "Overclocked Split 1" Battle Pass costs 950 Apex Coins: legendary skins for Conduit and Crypto, and a reactive RE-45 skin.

The map pool has six maps: Kings Canyon, World's Edge, Olympus, Storm Point, Broken Moon, E-District. The Season 29 rotation includes Broken Moon, Kings Canyon and Olympus; Storm Point has been temporarily removed because of crashes on some configurations. Modes: Battle Royale (Pubs / Ranked / Mixtape), Ranked (Bronze → Predator, rank reset every split), Mixtape (TDM, Control, Gun Run), as well as seasonal LTMs - Three Strikes, Winter Express and others.

The game is fully free: you download it through Steam and play without a paywall. Apex Coins are needed only for cosmetics and the Battle Pass, and give no advantage in combat. New legends can be unlocked for free with Legend Tokens (about 2-3 weeks of casual play) or instantly for 750 Apex Coins.

An EA account is required to play: Steam only downloads the installer, and progress is stored with EA (cross-progression since 2022). Russian voice-over is officially listed, but after 2022 some of the actors were replaced (the community notes a drop in quality for Loba, Revenant and Mirage). Many Russian players switch to English audio with a Russian interface, which can be done in EA App settings without mods. Steam: Mixed over the last 30 days (69%), Mostly Positive of all time (76%), a typical picture for a live-service game where each season brings a wave of reviews.

Apex Legends is a free battle royale from Respawn Entertainment (the Titanfall studio) for 60 players: teams of three, about 24 legends with distinctive abilities. Season 29 "Overclocked" is currently running, with a new legend, Axle, and a mechanic for respawning an ally from their death box.
