Apex Legends was only just announced for Nintendo Switch 2 last week, but it came out yesterday. We now have a first look with a bunch of footage.

Compared to the experience on Nintendo’s previous console, Apex Legends looks to be significantly improved on Switch 2 from a technical standpoint – which is to be expected. Other outlets should be taking a more in-depth look, but it runs at higher resolution with smoother performance.

Otherwise we have confirmation that mouse controls are supported with the Joy-Con 2. Gyro is included as well if you prefer that.

Here’s some information about the game:
