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.
