Apex Legends Mobile wins GOTY- Details
Apex Legends Mobile launched a little more than half a year back, and it is already proving its mettle. At least in India, with the ban of other mobile battle royales like PUBG and FreeFire, Apex Legends is one of the games that swooped to fill in the void. On those lines, Senior Director of Product Myke Hoff and Kevin Childress, Creative Director of Respawn Entertainment said in conversation with India Today’s Fiiber, “When BGMI was banned, we strengthened the servers and tried to understand what Indian gamers want. We saw an influx in gamers, and we hope that those gamers stick around”.
Now, the game has gone on to win Game of the Year for both iPhone and Android. The App Store 2022 Awards were announced on November 28, while Google Play revealed its list of best apps and games of 2022 on November 30th.
