Apex Legends has just dropped a huge announcement, and it’s flipping the script on competitive play. Respawn Entertainment is launching the Apex Legends Creator Tournament Series, where creators and influencers will be in charge of hosting their very own tournaments with custom rules.

A new kind of Apex tournament is coming, and this time, you’re in charge. We’re teaming up with Creators to build the wildest, most unforgettable events.

That’s right, no more sticking to the same formats we see in the ALGS or standard esports events. Instead, this new programme is all about community-powered competitions that are bold, chaotic, and completely unique.

What’s the Apex Legends Creator Tournament Series?

Respawn calls it “a new kind of Apex tournament,” one where they’re teaming up with the community to create “the wildest, most unforgettable events.” If you’re tired of the usual kill races and point ladders, this is where things get exciting.

Think of it like Apex with a twist:

• Melee-only matches
• Tabletop RPG-inspired challenges
• One bin loot runs
• No cooldown modes

Basically, if you can dream it, you can pitch it, and Respawn might just make it happen.

Powered by the Global Creator Programme

The initiative ties directly into the Apex Legends Global Creator Programme, with selected creators set to host monthly tournaments. Respawn isn’t just leaving you to fend for yourself, either. They’re promising full support to make these events shine, including:

• Prize pool backing
• Twitch drops for your channel
• Exclusive code giveaways
• Official stream assets
• Social media support from Respawn
• Event organisation assistance

So, whether you’re looking to grow your community or bring a wild Apex idea to life, there’s a proper support system in place.

How to Get Involved

Submissions are open right now through the official Apex Creator Hub. If you’re already part of the Global Creator Programme, you can check in on Discord or with your local creator lead for updates.

For those looking to sign up, the Creator Hub process involves filling out a quick “Get Verified” survey. You’ll need to share details about your content, the platforms you stream or post on, and a bit about your community.

Currently, the programme is mainly focused on English-speaking creators across North America, New Zealand, Australia, the UK, Germany, and France.

More Than Just Tournaments

Being part of the Creator Hub doesn’t stop at running tournaments. Respawn has also outlined extra perks for members, including:

• Early access to playtests
• A chance to give direct feedback on the game
• Updates via the Creator Discord
• Collaboration opportunities
• An official Creator Code for Apex Legends

So, not only do you get to put on some of the most unpredictable Apex events ever, but you’ll also be part of shaping the future of the game.

Why This Matters for the Apex Community

Apex Legends has always thrived on its community. From highlight clips to custom scrims, fans have constantly found new ways to enjoy the game outside of ranked ladders and professional play. The Creator Tournament Series looks like Respawn’s way of doubling down on that creativity, giving players the tools and backing to make those crazy “what if?” Apex moments official.

And honestly? That’s a win for everyone, whether you’re a viewer, a player, or a creator looking for the next big stage.
