Apex Legends Season 19, Ignite, introduces a little bit of everything — a new Legend, a long-awaited account feature, and changes to the Storm Point map. It’s not quite the Titanfall 3 announcement players were expecting, but there’s plenty to get stuck into.
A new season also brings a new battle pass, complete with tiers of cosmetics to unlock.
Here’s when you can start playing Apex Legends: Season 19.

What’s new in Apex Legends Season 19?
Apex Legends Season 19 headlines with a new Legend, the long-awaited arrival of cross progression, and much more:
- Conduit, a New Legend: This new Legend features “shield-based abilities” and a backstory where she’s using a rig made from an incomplete Titan that’s slowly poisoning her — all to become a legend in the arena.

- Storm Point map changes: Adjustments are being made to help “quickly find action during casual play,” with a reduced map size and more points of interest to encourage combat. What does this mean? Areas Forbidden Zone and Lightening Rod have been reworked, while there’s the new Wattson’s Pylon and IMC Armories to scrap in.

- Skydive Holosprays: You can now deploy Holosprays while dropping onto the map, following your Legend until you use another Holospray or emote.
- Cross progression: Over a year after cross-play was introduced to the game, you will soon log in under a single account across all platforms. If you have multiple accounts, what becomes your lead is largely dependent on your highest level, and (most) of your currencies will be combined. The official blog has an exact breakdown of what to expect.
