The new blog by Respawn Entertainment lists a number of improvements coming to the game, along with a major upgrade for Apex Legends players on PlayStation 5 and Xbox series X and series S. On the first two consoles, the battle royale game will now run in 4K resolution. With this, it will also feature support for 60Hz gameplay, HDR, higher resolution shadow maps as well as greater Level of Detail (LOD) distances.

So there is an obivous graphic update for Apex Legends players on consoles starting today. The blog, however, goes on to mention the future updates that we will see on the game. These will include a 120hz gameplay on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The developers also wish to enable adaptive triggers on the PS5, along with haptics as well as visual and audio improvements.

The majority of the blog talks of the Warriors Collection Event, due to start on March 29. From March 29 to April 12, the game will see the return of its much celebrated 9v9 Control mode. Other than this, Caustic Treatment has been converted into a three-point battleground, along with "additional cover, ziplines, skydive launchers, and even a hover tank," the developers mention.

There are other updates on the maps too. New locations have been added, while new Warriors Collection event items will also go on sale on the day. There are rewards to be won and store offers to be availed for Apex Legends players during the Warriors Collection Event. The developer has even fixed several bugs with the game in the new update.

PS5 owners who want to update their Apex Legends for 4K gaming can do so by navigating to the Game Hub for Apex Legends on the PS5 dashboard and pressing "Options." In there, users can press "Select Version" and choose the PS5 version to download the updated next-gen version of Apex Legends.

Those, however, who do not have Apex Legends pre-installed on their systems, will have to navigate to the "Your Collection" tab of the Game Library on the PS5 dashboard. Here Apex Legends will appear in the list of games. When prompted, users can choose the PS5 version to download the updated next-gen version.

The long-awaited current-gen versions of Apex Legends are almost here. Respawn Entertainment will release native PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the battle royale when the Warriors Collection event goes live today.

All three consoles will support 4K output and full 60Hz gameplay as well as HDR. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions are getting higher-resolution shadow maps and larger level-of-detail distances (so you can see objects from further away).

Some features players might have been expecting at the outset will arrive in future patches. Those include support for 120Hz gameplay, adaptive triggers and haptic feedback on PS5, as well as audio and visual improvements.

Not now

Not having 120 fps capabilities at the jump will be disappointing for many, given the fast pace of Apex Legends matches and the fact the developers have long been discussing that feature as one of their goals for the current-gen versions. Still, after the native PS5 and Xbox Series X/S editions land, it should be somewhat easier for developers to roll out updates across all platforms, so hopefully it won't be long before 120 fps support is added.

Thanks to Microsoft's Smart Delivery tech, the Xbox Series X/S versions of Apex Legends should automatically download if you have the Xbox One edition installed. PS5 players will need to download their console's version manually from the options menu on the Apex Legends game page or from the PSN store if they don't have the PS4 edition on their system.

Beyond the current-gen versions, there's a lot more for Apex Legends players to check out later today. The 9v9 Control mode, which proved popular when it debuted earlier this year, is back until April 12th. The Caustic Treatment area of King's Canyon is getting some changes so it can act as a Control battleground.

There's a new map called Drop-Off for the 3v3 Arena team deathmatch mode. A collection of 24 limited-time cosmetics will be available during the Warriors Collection event, including skins. Collect them all and you'll unlock a new sword Heirloom item for Crypto.
