Gaming News Apex Legends: PS5 and Xbox Series X targeted by EA’s Battle Royale?
It’s been over a year since the next generation of consoles came out, but Apex Legends still hasn’t been optimized for those machines. But rest assured that fans of the Electronic Arts game will change. According to multiple sources, the developers have heard the call from PS5 and Xbox Series X owners and are preparing to draw a major upgrade. We tell you more.
For anyone wanting to try Apex Legends on next-gen bikes, it’s possible, but those versions still rely on Sony and Microsoft’s console backward compatibility system. Some players, fed up with this old-gen version, have also started moving away from the game’s servers, if we are to believe the messages posted on forums and social networks. Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment are aware of the issue and intend to take action if the PlayStation Game Size account’s tweet is to be believed:
In reality, this is not a surprise. Last summer, the studio’s communications department announced through the voice of its manager that a major update for the next generation was in the works. If the information has been floating around for a few hours, it’s because the Twitter account in question is scrutinizing the patches and upgrades in the pipeline and has spotted a huge 80GB update for Apex Legends.
While Electronic Arts hasn’t announced anything for now, we highly doubt that such a patch would be just a bunch of fixes (especially since the tweet states “No update”). On the contrary, the stated weight is more of a complete overhaul of textures and 3D models. The update could even bring the game to 120 FPS.
Suffice it to say that this information shouldn’t leave you indifferent if you’re fans of EA’s Battle Royale. Especially since this upgrade could happen quickly. As soon as we know more, we’ll let you know!
