Apex Legends is the latest in the crowded battle royale genre and is entirely free to jump into, and as is common with F2P games, there are exclusive bonuses that are available for purchase. Below is everything you need to know about how to download and play Apex Legends on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

How to Download Apex Legends on PS4

The first thing you’ll need is a PSN account. Head to the PlayStation Store either via your web browser or the PlayStation store icon on your console. Log in, and then search for “Apex Legends”.

By searching for the full game title, you’ll pull up not only the base game itself but the add-on bundles as well (the Starter’s and Founder’s Pack), along with a variety of different options for Apex Coins.

Select the base game version of your choice, and then follow the prompts to download and install. Apex Legends has a file size of 23.09 GB on PS4.

How to Download on Xbox One

First, make sure you have an Xbox Live account and that you’re logged in. Next, head to the “Home” screen on your console and navigate to the store. Or, if you’re using a web browser, head to this link here to access the Microsoft Store.

Search for “Apex Legends” to bring up the free base game along with a variety of different bonus packs and in-game currency options to choose from. There is an entirely free version of Apex Legends available, along with “Starter” and “Founder’s” editions and a wide selection of Apex Coin amounts.

Select the version of your choice, and then follow the prompts to download and install. The base game has a file size of 31.66 GB on Xbox One (with deluxe editions being slightly larger).

How to Download on PC

Apex Legends is published by EA, therefore, it’s only available via the Origin platform. So, the first you’ll need to do is make sure you have the Origin client on your PC. Download and install Origin by following this link, then create an account and log in.

Search for “Apex Legends” within the Origin client to bring up the free base game, the alternate deluxe bundles you can purchase, and different packs of Apex Coins. To learn more about Apex Coins (the in-game currency) check out our guide.

Select the base game of your choosing and then follow the prompts to download and install. After you’ve done so, you can return to your search to download any additional packs you might want to purchase. The base game requires a minimum of 30GB of hard drive space on PC.

That’s everything you need to know about how to download and play Apex Legends on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. If you have any more questions be sure to search Twinfinite for quick and easy answers.
