Apex Legends remains a 100% free-to-play hero shooter in 2025. Unlike the "Ticket" system in Maximum Football, Apex allows you to play all core modes (Battle Royale, Ranked, and Mixtape) without any entry fees or playtime restrictions.
Where to Download (Free)
You can find the game on all major digital storefronts:
PC: Steam, EA App, and Epic Games Store.
Consoles: PlayStation 5 (Pro Enhanced), Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch (now also available on Switch 2).
Subscription Note: On PlayStation and Nintendo Switch, you do not need a paid subscription (PS Plus/Switch Online) to play Apex online. On Xbox, the "Xbox Game Pass Core" is no longer required for free-to-play titles.
What is Free vs. Paid?
Apex follows a "Cosmetics Only" monetization model, though character unlocking requires some time.
Category Free Access Paid Options
Legends (Characters) You start with 6–8 base Legends. All others are unlocked using Legend Tokens earned by leveling up. You can skip the grind by buying Legends instantly with Apex Coins.
Maps & Modes All maps, limited-time modes (like Wildcard), and seasonal updates are free. N/A
Battle Pass A "Free Track" gives a few skins and packs each season. The "Premium Track" costs ~950 Apex Coins and offers significantly more rewards.
Cosmetics You earn "Apex Packs" (loot boxes) and Crafting Metals for free as you level up. Purchase specific skins, Heirlooms, or "Exotic Shards" directly.
The 2025 "Complete" Roster Grind
As of late 2025, there are over 25 Legends. For a brand-new player, unlocking everyone for free is a long journey:
The Grind: You earn enough tokens for one new Legend every 20 account levels.
Welcome Pass: New players in 2025 often get a "Welcome Pass" that provides challenges to unlock a few extra Legends (like Valkyrie or Octane) faster than the standard level grind.
To get the "complete" experience in Apex Legends as of late 2025, it’s important to know that there is no longer a single "Buy Everything" disc or digital bundle. Because the game has over 25 Legends, the "Champion Edition" from earlier years has been phased out in favor of seasonal bundles.
To have a "complete" account today, here is the roadmap:
1. The "Ultimate+" Battle Pass (Best for New Players)
In 2025, the most efficient way to get a "complete" feel is the Ultimate+ Battle Pass (~$20 USD).
Instant Access: It grants you unlimited play access to every single Legend in the game for the duration of that Battle Pass split.
The Benefit: This allows you to try everyone immediately without spending hundreds of dollars or thousands of hours grinding. You can then use the "Legend Tokens" you earn while playing to permanently unlock your favorites.
2. Unlocking the Roster Permanently
If you want to own every Legend forever without grinding, there is no "All Legends Pack." You have to buy them individually or in smaller "Class Bundles" (e.g., the Recon Bundle) that rotate in the Store.
Cost to Buy All: To buy the entire 26+ character roster using Apex Coins would cost roughly $200–$250 USD.
The Free Path: You earn enough tokens to unlock a new Legend every 20 levels. To unlock the "complete" roster for free, you would need to reach roughly level 500+.
3. Current 2025 Content (Season 25 & 26)
To be fully up-to-date with the "complete" modern version of the game, ensure you have explored these 2025 additions:
New Legend: Belva (Sparrow), a recon specialist added in mid-2025.
New Map: E-District, a high-density urban map that is now a staple in the rotation.
Universal Heirlooms: Unlike old heirlooms tied to one character, the newest "Mythic" melee weapons (like the Praxic Blade) can be equipped by any Legend on your roster.
4. "Legacy" Content (DLC Packs)
You can still find "Edition" packs (like the Loba Edition or Gibraltar Edition) on Steam or Console stores. These are the closest things to "DLC" and usually include:
One permanent Legend unlock.
A Legendary skin for that Legend.
A Legendary weapon skin.
600–1,000 Apex Coins (enough to buy the next Battle Pass).
