Respawn Entertainment is among the several developers who have branched out to the hybrid console and offering its battle royale gaming experience for the Nintendo Switch. The branch out aims to address the massive community of Nintendo Switch users for the game, in which the platform has limited titles of the action shooting genre.

The Nintendo Switch has been a favorite for a hack-and-slash, role-playing game (RPG), MMORPGs, and other genres, but it seems that Battle Royale would also be making its mark among its gamers. "Apex Legends" has always been a highly rated title, with a massive player base that ranks with popular titles like "Fortnite," "PUBG," and "Call of Duty: Warzone."

'Apex Legends:' Server Down

According to Express UK, several players have brought their complaints via social media platforms, saying that the newly introduced game for the Nintendo Switch is experiencing a server down the issue. Several users have attested that the game does not download within the platform, and continues the loading icon instead of the moving percentage.

Moreover, for some users who have already downloaded the game, "Apex Legends" fails to login via their accounts or create one, as the game freezes in the home or login page. There are no explanations from "Apex Legends's" team or Respawn Entertainment on what caused this outage, but several fans have speculated that it is due to a large number of downloads.

On the other hand, some players have successfully downloaded and created a profile for the battle royale, however, they report that several actions are stuck on the game screen and cannot be moved. The controls of the battle royale are malfunctioning, and users are also speculating it to be because of the server issues of the game.
