The Best Apex Legends Wallpapers for Windows

As one of the most popular offerings in the quickly growing Battle Royale genre, there’s a pretty good chance that you’ve already dipped your toes into Apex Legends.

With a Metacritic rating of 88/100, critics and players alike are loving it. While it’s still trailing behind its older competitor Fortnite in terms of revenue, it’s remained in the charts as one of the top-grossing games on both PC and console since EA launched it by surprise in February.

It’s hardly a shock that it’s raking in the cash. In the first 8 hours after it was released, it already had 1 million players. Within a day, it had already more than doubled that number, with 2.5 million people giving it a go. It reached over 50 million users in just one month, which was the most successful first month of any free-to-play game released so far.

Publisher Electronic Arts pulled a fast one on gamers and critics alike, releasing the game without any trailers or hype. While this is normally a sign of a lack of confidence on the part of the publishers, it seems the trick paid off, considering how many people tried it out for themselves.

The game was made by Titanfall developers Respawn Entertainment (the studio founded by the creators of Call of Duty after they quit Infinity Ward), and is set in the Titanfall universe 30 years after the end of Titanfall 2. You won’t see any Titans running around the battlefield in this one though, because Respawn realized during development that it kind of sucked for everyone that wasn’t piloting a massive stompy robot.

Unlike most other Battle Royale games, Apex Legends gives players a choice between different character classes, with unique abilities and different roles to fulfill in the field. If you’ve already given the game a try, you’ve probably already picked your favorite.

It’s not just an innovative game from the hands of an experienced studio, it’s also something of a looker… which is probably why you’re here. It was made using a highly modified version of Valve’s venerable Source engine (of Half-Life 2 fame) which has been kicking around since 2004. Don’t think it’s been held back by old tech though, as you’ll see from the wallpapers we’re going to share with you.

Instead of just putting up a load of random pictures, we’ve trawled the web for the best places to find awesome desktop-sized backgrounds for this surprise favorite.
