Apex Down?? from apexlegends
Thankfully, EA is aware of the issues, and has even acknowledged how some other EA-published games like Knockout City are having issues connecting to games as well.
Heads up, this is also causing connection issues on some of our other titles. We'll update you once we know more! https://t.co/ozHsG9qosN

The official Apex Legends Twitter account, nor developer Respawn Entertainment has touched on the server outage currently, but we suspect, they will soon — provided this isn’t resolved quickly. Hopefully, this isn’t another attack by hackers who have a beef with the devs and whatnot.
We’ll be updating the post as it develops throughout the day, so make sure to refresh this from time to time! If you somehow can connect to the game, share where you’re from and what platform you’re on to let the other legends know.
