Apex Legends Mobile Season 4 Patch, titled Aspire, is the final content update before EA sunsets the game for good on May 1.

After several mobile-exclusive legends skins and cosmetics exclusive to the game’s handheld port, Respawn is pulling the plug on the mobile battle royale game. The mobile port turned out to be less profitable than expected, according to EA & Respawn Entertainment. However, fans can no longer purchase Gold in-game, and EA isn’t too enthusiastic on offering their players any refunds. Players should use up any existing in-game gold to buy skins and cosmetics for their weapons and legends.

A new map, a new signature weapon along with a battle pass are the content updates outlined for the potential last patch of the game. EA and Respawn have also allowed players to experience “Tournaments.” Tournaments has been a feature in development since the game’s inception, with the idea to make the game more “competitive”, rewarding players to face their friends in matches.

Tournaments revolve around a rotating array of objectives. Completing these objectives earns you points that are all tracked in a live Tournament-specific leaderboard! These Tournament Leaderboards are active for a limited time and allow legends to earn Tournament Points in matches in eligible modes while the Tournament is active.

Elimination Tournaments: damage, knocks and kills.

Legends Tournaments: use of specific Legends and their abilities.

Ranked Tournaments: difficult challenges for the best players.

Scoring & Rewards: 

All Tournaments are free to enter! However, some tournaments require players to meet special criteria, including minimum rank and level requirements, and each tournament will require you to opt in to participate. Also, you’ll need to meet a minimum participation requirement to earn a reward in each Tournament.

Scores are tallied per match in eligible modes and points are only counted while the Tournament is active. Check the description for each Tournament for complete details, including eligible game modes, tournament duration, scoring rules, and reward descriptions.

Scoring rules will change depending on the type of Tournament running, but Tournament Points are always accumulated in ways which emphasize skill and strategy. Tournament rewards are awarded after the Tournament has concluded.  Rewards are based on your final leaderboard placement and can either be claimed via your in-game mailbox or the Tournament.
