How to check the Apex Legends server status and if they’re down

The best way to check the status of Apex’s servers is to go to an outside source that regularly monitors the game’s health, a website simply known as Apex Legends Servers. It is not affiliated with Apex’s developer or publisher, though it effectively shares any problems or hiccups the servers are having, showing their health and performance.

If any issues are presently happening with the Apex Legends servers, a small notification will appear on the front of the page, and players are directed to reach out to the EA Help team to report the issue.

If the servers look good at this location, the next best place is to check out the Apex Legends Twitter page. The team regularly share messages if there is a widespread outage and large amounts of players are experiencing a good amount of issues. You can expect to encounter plenty of players at the start of major events, at the beginning of a season, or when a new Legend arrives to Apex Legends.

At the time of writing, January 9, 2024, the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Event has just gone live in Apex Legends. This event requires an update, so some players may be experiencing issues with in-game errors if they haven’t downloaded the update yet. It’s always worth checking for an update before playing to avoid these problems and thinking the game is down.

Alternatively, the DownDetector website for Apex Legends is also a good choice, as it shows the number of players currently having log in issues.

Outside of those three locations, you may need to wait until the official Apex Legends team responds or the EA Help Twitter posts a comment about the servers. These pages don’t do this often, so the best idea might be to take a step away from Apex Legends until the server issues are resolved.
