With Sony and Microsoft’s next-gen consoles nearing launch, fans are keen to experience the next-gen titles. Besides that, fans are also eagerly waiting for a revamped experience of most current-gen games. Apex Legends is one of those games.

Apex Legends obviously has a lot planned for the coming months. In a recent tweet, Design Director of Apex Legends, Jason McCord shared some insights into Respawn’s content schedule for the battle royale. It is good news for fans who grew impatient with the gap between the start of Season 6 and the Aftermarket event.

After the tweet went out, a user asked about Apex’s performance improvements from the better hardware on the next-gen consoles. The Respawn designer noted that there is already a video on Twitter showcasing the game booting up on an Xbox Series X.

After that, another Apex player inquired about the game’s frames-per-second on the next-gen consoles. However, the reply from Jason McCord seemed to worry a lot of console players.

Reports of Apex Legends FPS cap on next-gen consoles clarified

The player asked if, just like on the current consoles, the game will be locked at 60 FPS on both the new consoles. Or if Respawn intends to uncap the FPS in the future.

McCord responded, “Nope. Locking the game on consoles lets us give a more consistent framerate for the lower-end devices. If we uncapped it, you’d see much bigger spikes and valleys, and the game would feel worse.”

The design director’s reply came as a huge blow to players who had plans to upgrade their consoles for an improved Apex Legends experience. Thankfully, that’s not the case.

Later, McCord clarified that the reply wasn’t meant for the next-gen consoles. Respawn has announced nothing yet, and he had misread the context.

Therefore, there is a chance that Respawn decides on a different FPS cap for Apex on the new consoles. Both the next-gen consoles have the ability to run games at 120 FPS, providing a somewhat PC experience.

There can also be an option for players to decide their preferred FPS cap. The new consoles will undoubtedly do a much better job of providing 60 FPS consistently. This would definitely prevent frame drops from occurring. So perhaps next-gen console buyers will get to experience a revamped version of Apex Legends, hopefully.

All in all, Apex Legends has a lot to offer in the coming months. For now, fans have to look forward to the next couple of months to see what Respawn’s plans are.
