Missing Apex Legends Mobile? Try these 5 best alternative games

Apex Legends Mobile has unfortunately been shut down and all servers have been closed by Respawn Entertainment, leaving many players looking for new alternative games to play. If you’re one of them, fear not! There are plenty of other great options out there to fill the void.
