when will Apex be available for windows arm64?

Hey @XgernoX 

The system requirements for Apex Legends can be found here. Since Apex was not designed to run on a Mac system we do not have information or support for running it on one. 

The programs that would allow you to run Windows or a Windows-based game on Mac would-be emulators. Which can run into a number of issues with performance or reliability, If you decide to try and play it on a Mac device using emulation we cannot guarantee the game will run as intended. 

I would recommend sticking with a native windows device that meets the required specifications if possible. 

Thanks!

Hi Illium,

I try to install apex from steam on my Surface pro x which is windows 11 on ARM platform with x64 emulator.

but i got an info "upsupported host machine architecture. (ARM64)"  and couldn't play at all

Do you guys make a detection to ban user playing game on windows on ARM in advance just to make sure the quality?

or the game just really can't function on Windows on ARM by any chance?

((cause CS:GO can play easily by x64 emulator

Thanks~

I have a Surface Pro X (Qualcomm CPU) and I get the "Launch Error Unsupported host machine architecture. (ARM64)" error on pretty much any game that uses Epic's Unreal game engine. I'm pretty sure it's Epic's fault these games refuse to run, because in theory the x64 emulation in Windows 11 should allow them to run. I can run games that require 64-bit Intel or AMD CPUs that use different game engines without getting this kind of error. I'd say Epic deliberately put an architecture check into their game engine at some point, and I'm fairly certain Apex legends uses the Unreal engine.

Apex Legends uses a modified source engine like CSGO
It would probably be a combination of EAC and security reasons that they don't support it.

If I'm honest I don't think they will support arm processers ever directly.
