The wait is finally over for the lucky individuals who got their hands on the next generation of gaming consoles like the PS5 & the Xbox Series X|S since Respawn has finally revealed what kind of next-gen updates they have in store for the player base.
Apex Legends was Respawn Entertainment’s first foray into the highly competitive battle royale market. Despite solid competition from massive competitors like PUBG and Fortnite, Apex Legends was able to make a name for itself in this highly competitive market.
Following the release of next-gen consoles like PS5 & Xbox Series X|S, Respawn didn’t give their game a next-gen makeover. Instead, the game ran on the base port with more stability since the newer consoles were really powerful in terms of pure horsepower.
The new update will let you play Apex Legends in native 4K (PS5 & Xbox Series X), along with the game being outputted in glorious HDR. Additionally, we are planning support for more next-gen features in future updates.
Improvements over back-compact versions:
| 4K output | PS5 & Xbox Series X |
| Full 60hz gameplay | PS5 & Xbox Series X|S |
| HDR | PS5 & Xbox Series X|S |
| Higher-resolution shadow maps | PS5 & Xbox Series X |
| Greater LOD distances | PS5 & Xbox Series X |
