Apex Legends’ season 21, Upheaval, featured the return of Broken Moon, now shattered with the arrival of Alter to the Apex Games, alongside new spawn location changes to World’s Edge and Storm Point in the standard map rotation.
Apex has featured five playable battle royale maps in its five-year lifespan, with Broken Moon the newest addition in November 2022. However, while every map is accessible in the custom game browser, not all are featured in the pubs and ranked rotation each season. Respawn changes the map rotation with each major adjustment to the scenery.
Starting in season 16, Apex’s live map rotation was thrust into the spotlight as Respawn made sweeping changes to the ranked playlist to accommodate the seasonal map rotation. Instead of one map for entire splits, three will rotate at a time—every 24 hours in ranked and roughly every hour in pubs.
Not sure if your favorite map is currently in rotation? We’ve got you covered. Here is the map rotation in Apex Legends season 21 for all game modes.
All Apex Legends season 21 maps in rotation for pubs and ranked
The current maps for Trios and Quads in season 21 are now as follows:
- Broken Moon
- King’s Canyon
- Olympus
Broken Moon returned to the standard map rotation this season with multiple new changes to accommodate the recently detached colony of Hope. Quarantine Zone, Space Port, Cliff Side, and more POIs have taken over the map. Additionally, King’s Canyon replaced World’s Edge for the rest of the season in the mid-season Split reset, now available with the LTM Quads game mode.
The maps for Ranked are now as follows:
- Broken Moon
- Olympus
- World’s Edge
The ranked rotation for split two of Season 21 breaks away from following the standard playlist by substituting King’s Canyon for Olympus, bringing the map back for the first time in two months.
All Apex Legends season 21 maps in rotation for Mixtape
Season 21 features the return of Lockdown, which features twelve Apex players divided into four teams, just like Gun Run. Squads earn points by eliminating enemy legends or capturing zones, which then provide golden loot once a timer expires. Lockdown will now be part of the standard Mixtape map rotation.
The Mixtape Map Rotation will additionally change every two weeks for the rest of the season, with all four games modes rotating through two or three selections.
Here is the current map rotation for Control, Gun Run, Lockdown, and Team Deathmatch in the Mixtape Playlist in Apex:
Control
- King’s Canyon: Caustic Labs
- Thunderdome
Team Deathmatch
- Olympus: Estates
- Broken Moon: The Core
- Habitat
Gun Run
- Olympus: Estates
- World’s Edge: Fragment
- Storm Point: Zeus Station
Lockdown
- Olympus: Estates
- Broken Moon: The Core
Alter, Broken Moon, and Lockdown are now live in Apex across all platforms.
