The playoffs for the first split of the 2023 Apex Legends Global Series are ready to get underway in London. Teams from across the world will travel to the U.K. to compete in the ultimate test of Apex skill with a $1 million prize pool on the line.
Some of the best Apex squads from North America, EMEA, APAC, and South America will collide beginning on Feb. 2. And for the occasion, ALGS and EA are bringing back popular casters, the immensely popular B stream hosted by NiceWigg and Greek, and the MultiView feature that lets viewers watch from the point of view of any of their favorite players in the tournament.
And to sweeten the deal, ALGS is bringing back Twitch drops for viewers to earn free cosmetics in Apex just by watching all the action. If you’re wanting to get some free content while watching the Split One Playoffs, check out the guide below for everything you need to know.
How to get Apex Legends Twitch drops during the ALGS playoffs
First, you’ll need to connect your EA account to your Prime Gaming account. You can do this by going to Twitch, going to the Prime Gaming Loot page via the crown icon in the top right, and then clicking on the first Apex item you see. Alternatively, you can also just head over to the Apex page on the Prime Gaming website.
When you first click through, you may have to sign in to your Amazon account. If you’re already connected to EA, it will take you right back to the Loot page. Otherwise, it will ask you to allow the account to sign in to EA (make sure you sign in using the corresponding platform that you play Apex on). Then, sign in on EA and the accounts should link and you can return to the Loot page.
Once you know you’re connected, you can start watching the official PlayApex stream or a partnered streamer that indicates they have drops enabled. You’ll only earn a dropped reward for time spent watching one of these streams on Feb. 5 for the grand final of the event, with up to four possible rewards. Once you earn one, you can claim it from your Inventory page. The rewards are:
- The “ALGS-Hunted” Holospray after 15 minutes watched.
- The “Shock & Claw” Volt skin after one hour watched.
- The “Natural Selection” Gibraltar skin after two hours watched.
- The “King of the Ring” Gun Charm after three hours watched.
All of the items should be in your inventory once they’re claimed from the Prime Gaming Inventory page. The Split One Playoffs will begin on Feb. 2 and conclude on Feb. 5.
