Apex Legends is an online multiplayer battle royale FPS game developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts. It is set in the Titanfall universe and uses the same Source engine as used in Titanfall and Titanfall 2.[1]
Apex Legends released on Origin on February 4, 2019. At launch, many players experienced issues with crash to desktop at random intervals, which appears to have been fixed for many PC players in a stability patch on March 22, 2019.[2] The game is one of the most popular online PC games, reaching a reported 70 million players (on all platforms) on October 29, 2019,[3] although this figure does not reflect concurrent players or PC-only players.
As of May 2020, the game remains very popular and is regularly updated with new free content as well as microtransactions and a new Season Pass approximately every 3 months,[4] and has a very active playerbase worldwide. Season 5: Fortune's Favor, a content update, was released May 12, 2020.[5] Following the announcement of a partnership between EA and Valve on October 29, 2019, Apex Legends was released on Steam on November 5, 2020, supporting cross-platform play with Origin.[6]

Monetization
| Type | Notes |
|---|---|
| Free-to-play | Game is free-to-play and microtransactions are heavily promoted in-game. |
Microtransactions
| Type | Notes |
|---|---|
| Boost | Every Season (every few months), a new Battle Pass is released which temporarily boosts the speed at which these currencies and cosmetics are gained. The Battle Pass can be purchased using Apex Coins. |
| Currency | Apex Coins are a real money purchase. Apex Coins can be used to purchase cosmetics and unlock characters, which are frequently added into the game at regular intervals. |
| Free-to-grind | It is possible to unlock every character within a reasonable playtime without spending real money by earning Legend Tokens after competing in games. However the purchase of the Battle Pass, Apex Coins and Apex Packs allows users to skip the grind. |
| Infinite spend | No practical limit to how much real money can be spent in the game. |
| Loot box | Apex Coins can be spent on Apex Packs which are loot boxes that drop cosmetics which do not duplicate, and guarantees a Legendary quality cosmetic every 30 packs.[10] Apex Packs also have a very small chance to award 'heirloom shards' currency which is used to purchase 'heirloom' quality cosmetics, and are guaranteed every 500 packs.[11] |
| Time-limited | A pack including 600 Apex Coins and a skin for a Legend is released every Season for its' duration, after which the packs are made unavailable for purchase. |

Issues unresolved
Shader compilation stutter
- While the game offers compiling shaders when starting it for the first time, not all shaders are compiled, this can be seen in lobby when changing game modes which will result in stutter. This issue occurs everytime when a new season comes out.[17][18]
- The game suffers from shader compilation related stutters during gameplay, this occurs whenever a new effect is displayed and thus whenever a new shader has to be compiled.[19][20]
Party Not Ready
- When pressing Ready, the game states Party Not Ready, even when playing alone.
| Close and open the game, or enter then leave training mode[citation needed] |
|---|
Crash to desktop
- There have been numerous reports of crash to desktop on both Nvidia and AMD GPUs.[21][citation needed]
| Upgrading to Nvidia driver version 419.35 is known to fix the issue[citation needed] |
|---|
Issues fixed
Low FPS/stuttering on Nvidia Optimus platforms
- Some Nvidia drivers might not properly detect Apex Legends as a game and automatically select and make use of the Nvidia discrete GPU to render the game on Nvidia Optimus platforms, instead it will default to using the integrated GPU that resides in the CPU (Intel-based GPU).
| Configure the Nvidia display drivers to make use of the high-performance Nvidia graphics card for the game[22] |
|---|
Notes
|
Frametime inconsistencies and microstutter at high FPS
- The game can feel stuttery even at higher frame rates which is most likely caused by inconsistent frametimes.
Disable the ingame FPS limiter by adding +fps_max unlimited as a launch command, then use RTSS or AMD/Nvidia Control Panel to limit the ingame FPS.
|
|---|
Cannot look around in-game
| Disable Origin In-Game Overlay |
|---|
Notes
|
Mouse stuttering
| Lower mouse polling rate |
|---|
Notes
|
Geometry pop-in/Low Level-of-Detail(LOD)
- Tweaking "Model Detail" adds considerable amounts of detail to cliffs, rocks, trees, and other game elements. In addition, higher detail levels will reduce the degree of pop-in as you move quickly through a level, increasing image quality and immersion.
| Edit Config File to increase Model Detail[23] |
