Award-winning singer and songwriter Post Malone is bringing «two weeks of mayhem» to Apex Legends in November. What does that mean? I'll be blunt with you: I have no idea.
Word of whatever this might be came by way of Post Malone's Twitter account, where he wrote, «Get ready for two weeks of beautiful mayhem #ApexLegends.» The cryptic message was laid atop a brief video clip in which Posty, sprawled out on the floor like he'd just eaten a burst from an R-301, plaintively calls out, «Can someone rez me?»

When I first read that Post Malone was coming to Fortnite, my mind immediately flashed to Travis Scott's groundbreaking (and money-making) virtual concert in Fortnite. Anything's possible, and it would be very cool if something like that was in the works—it would be a huge step forward for Apex Legends as a digital world—but I don't think it's a realistic expectation: Apex isn't a metaverse type of thing like Fortnite, and setting up an in-game event of that scale is surely not something that Respawn would do and drop without a lot of build up.
The teaser video concludes with an image of the Apex Legends character Octane superimposed over a portrait of Post, and I think that's probably a better hint of what's to come: A Post Malone-inspired skin, maybe a «find the facial tattoos» collection event, possibly some new music, and perhaps even some streaming, which is something he's done on occasion in the past.
Malone is in fact an Apex Legends fan: In a 2022 interview with the Full Send Podcast (via Dexerto), he said he never got into Fortnite «because I don’t want 12-year-olds cranking 90s on me and literally making me throw my monitor across the room,» but Apex really clicked for him.
«I would play Warzone and Call of Duty and stuff,» Malone said. «I was just never a BR guy because I'm not that good at them. But something about Apex, I just started playing it and I really, really enjoyed it.»
The Apex Legends Post Malone event, whatever it ultimately turns out to be, begins on November 7. We'll keep you posted (sorry) on what's happening when we know more.

Cross progression is one of the best features in Apex Legends, allowing players to carry their progress to any platform they want to play. However, it doesn’t always work as intended, leaving players without a way to link their devices.

The upcoming season's patch notes contain some of the biggest meta changes the game has seen in years.
Blockbuster battle royale Apex Legends is finally getting cross-progression, merging together the stats, cosmetics, bought Apex Coins and more for players that have been going across multiple platforms. All of this is coming with Apex Legends Season 19: Ignite.
Getting an email asking if I want a copy of “the Apex Legends cookbook” was one of the most WTF moments of my year thus far, but once I knew it existed, I had to have it. Before I left for GamesBeat Next, I was perusing and casually testing some of the recipes in the book, and let me tell you: The Apex Legends cookbook is a goldmine of comedy, if not of particularly inventive recipes. Some of the food feels artificially tied to specific characters — Octane has a couple of recipes in the book (both good, too), and I’ll remind you the character is canonically a thrill-seeking drug addict. I want nothing to do with whatever he puts in his body.
Free-to-play battle royale shooter Apex Legends is finally introducing cross-progression as part of its 19th season, and ahead of its arrival next Tuesday, 31st October, developer Respawn Entertainment has detailed how the whole thing'll work.
