Apex Legends, the Battle Royale game which blew apart the entire gaming community with its amazing pacey gameplay and the amount of hype and response it received in such a short period of time. Respawn, the brains behind Apex Legends along with EA Origins launched a free-to-play BR game to compete against the likes of industry giants such as Fortnite and PUBG. Recently, the game received over 25 Million active users within just one week of release, which according to me is just insane. Since it has only been a week after the launch, the game has received a lot of good response and other stuff. The game runs smoothly but there were some minor bugs and glitches to be fixed which was addressed by the developers in an update launched today, In fact just about 30 mins ago as of writing this article.
Apex Legends gamers on PC, PS4 and Xbox One will receive a new update which will bring along some bug fixes. The developers are focusing more on stabilizing the game entirely not only the gameplay department but also the overall UI. Some of the players have been experiencing mid-game crashes and lag issues and the company will be fixing all of those in this update.
Respawn Community Manager, Jay Frechette in a post online mentioned that, “We’ve been pouring over tons of data coming in from the game, as well as listening to feedback across the wide ocean of Internet.
” We have lots of great stuff to chew on, many things to fix and improve, and good debates have already begun among the dev team.”
“Our main focus right now is stability and quality of life but in the near future we’ll be talking more about the potential updates to the meta”.
