Apex Legends Aims To Meet 120 FPS Support On Next-Gen Machines, Respawn Entertainment Says

The significance of this month holds true to Respawn Entertainment as Apex Legends turns two years old. The game despite being a free-to-play experience continues to reel in capital for publisher Electronic Arts and proves to be a tentpole release from the Titanfall developer. In celebration of that, a special anniversary event is currently live for players to partake in and unlock a bevy of new in-game items and other cosmetics.

To rewind back a couple weeks, Electronic Arts published a feature introducing next-generation advancements for its published titles and Apex Legends is among those properties. However, the battle royale only listed to offer 1440p/60 frames per second which is fairly minimal for the new powerhouse systems. But, the firm elaborates that more will be pressed entering 2021.

In a new Reddit AMA held by Respawn Entertainment, the developer issues that the studio is whole-heartily aiming to deliver Apex Legends on next-generation machines when the dedicated update arrives.

120 FPS is one of our goals and as we continue to look at NG features and balance between what we think is best for the overall player experience for NG, we’re keeping this in mind. Can’t promise anything but with the core mechanics “feel” of Apex being such an important piece of the player experience this one is high on the priority list.

For starters, this is the ambition that Respawn Entertainment is mainly recognized for when pursuing its titles in delivering the best experience possible. What makes this promise more than likely to be delivered upon is that a dedicated sector is responsible for Apex Legends. Back in May last spring, the Electronic Arts subsidiary opened a second studio in Vancouver, Canada with intentions to be solely devoted to working on the battle royale.

Even earlier than that is a job listing that Electronic Arts published for Respawn Entertainment. In that, the posting asked the potential candidate for ambitions to “push next-gen platforms and the PC to their limits on Apex Legends.” You can read the full report by heading here.
