Map

There are seven maps in Apex Legends.

• Three big Battle Royale maps: Kings Canyon (from launch); World's Edge (from Season 3); and Olympus (from Season 7).
• Four small Arenas maps: Party Crasher and Phase Runner (from Season 9); Overflow (from the Thrillseekers event); and Encore (from the Monsters Within event)

For Battle Royale, at the start of each season, either a new map will be added, or one of the current maps will receive a map update (MU). Minor map changes, called Town Takeovers (TT), occur sparingly and they come with events. Town Takeovers are modeled after a Legend.

Map rotation

Battle Royale

For Play Apex, the maps rotate once every 60, 90, or 120 minutes. For Ranked Leagues, two maps rotate between the two splits. When a new map or map update comes out at the start of a new season, that map will be in the Play Apex rotation for one or two weeks to allow players to get used to it. Similarly, when a map receives a new Town Takeover, that map will be in the Play Apex rotation for up to a week.
