Fact Check: Will Apex Legends Mobile in-app purchases be refunded after game shuts down?

sportskeeda.com:

Developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts, Apex Legends is an online multiplayer battle royale game available on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile. However, it now appears that the game will lose its presence on one major platform, leaving players displeased with the news.

In an official statement released by Respawn Entertainment today, Apex Legends Mobile, the Android and iOS versions of the original Titanfall-based game, will discontinue on May 1, 2023. The game was only released in May 2022, and it has now been confirmed that it will be shut down on its one-year anniversary.

This news was followed by the scrapping of Battlefield Mobile, another game that was still in development but has officially been canceled by its developers, Industrial Toys.

Apex Legends Mobile has been a popular battle royale shooter since debuting and even won an award for the best overall game on the Google Play Store. However, according to a report from the developers, they found it difficult to keep the game afloat and struggled to attract new players.

The final decision was made by the developers to shut down the game as a result of not being able to maintain the "high-quality experience and content that players deserve." Currently, the game will only be playable until May 1, 2023, and will not be available for download thereafter on both Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store.

The game being shut down has worried players who have spent a lot of money purchasing in-game items, raising concerns and questions about whether they will receive refunds before or after the game discontinues.

However, in a blog post by EA, it has been confirmed that all in-app purchases made by players will NOT be refunded
