Apex Legends is one of the most famous battle royale titles in the world. It's fun, quick and easy to learn but hard to master. For these reasons, many are asking Respawn Entertainment when the game will be available to play on mobile. There were rumors that Apex Legends was being developed for mobile by a secondary developer, but we heard very little about it. However, there is a way for Android users to play battle royale on their mobile smartphone right now.
Use GeForce Now to play Apex Legends on an Android smartphone
Nvidia recently launched its new streaming service, GeForce Now. Essentially, this app lets you download your favorite titles and play them on any device that supports the service.
For example, if you want to play something like The Witcher III: Wild Hunt, but all you have right now is a low-end PC, GeForce Now lets you play even if you don't meet the system requirements. Nvidia does this by making streaming the priority. Think of something like PlayStation Now for comparison.
When it comes to Apex Legends, the same process is used. Available only for Android smartphones at the time of writing, all you need to do is download the Nvidia GeForce Now app. If you don't have an account yet, you will need to create one.

Since this is not technically an official copy of Apex Legends, mobile controls are not enabled. You will therefore need to use a Bluetooth compatible controller.
