What is the record for the longest game in Apex Legends?

The record for the longest game in Apex Legends is a bit tricky to pin down due to its nature as an online multiplayer game, where matches typically conclude within a set range of time depending on when all but one team are eliminated or the final ring closes. Developer Respawn Entertainment designed Apex Legends to have a finite end with each match, facilitated by an ever-closing ring to bring teams together and ensure games do not last indefinitely. Furthermore, since matches are played on live servers across various regions constantly, there's no official tally of every match duration to pinpoint a single longest game record. However, there have been community reports of unusually lengthy matches caused by unique circumstances or bugs that have allowed some games to extend beyond the standard timeframe, but these tend not to be officially recognized or recorded as formal records.
