We're hard at work on the following. 💡KNOWN ISSUES: - We are aware that some Ranked matches are starting with fewer than 60 players. We have a fix gradually rolling out and expect the issue to be fully resolved by the end of the day. - Map rotations have been erroneously reset to 24 hours. This issue will be resolved when the current 24 hour map rotation window expires. Maps will then rotate on 4.5 hour cycles again. ⚠️ INVESTIGATING: - We are looking into new issues with FPS drops. We've seen player reports that disabling Hyperthreading and updating to the newest drivers helps alleviate the issue. This also could be the result of shader compiling and may self correct after a match or two. - We are investigating an issue where some players are unable to move after landing from a dropship. 🎯CORRECTION: - The new Executioner Hop-Up regenerates 50 shields over **_5 seconds_**, not the initially communicated 10 seconds. We'll be sure to communicate updates as we have them. ### Apex Legends: Latest Update 5/29/2026 - Date: 2026-05-30 - Original notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1172470/view/668366713382766553 - Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/apex-legends/releases/steam-668366713382766553 - **changed** — Axle's Nitro Gate max in-world count reduced from 3 to 2 - **changed** — Axle's Nitro Gate hp reduced from 150 to 100 - **changed** — Conduit's Radiant Transfer regen rate decreased from 15/s to 10/s - **changed** — Conduit's Radiant Transfer regen duration increased from 6s to 8s - **changed** — Conduit's Radiant Transfer total ally regen decreased from 90 to 80 - **changed** — Conduit's Radiant Transfer total self-regen decreased from 60 to 56 - **changed** — Conduit's Radiant Transfer Instant Barrier regen duration increased from 4s to 6s Hi all, we have a couple of balance updates that we just pushed live! 🛠️ADJUSTED: AXLE - Nitro Gate - Reduced max in-world count from 3 to 2 - Reduced hp from 150 to 100 CONDUIT - Radiant Transfer - Decreased regen rate from 15/s to 10/s - Increased regen duration from 6s to 8s - Decreased total ally regen from 90 to 80 - Decreased total self-regen from 60 to 56 - Increased Instant Barrier regen duration from 4s to 6s ### Latest Update 5/27/26 (As of 5:16 PM PT) - Date: 2026-05-28 - Original notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1172470/view/668366713382764905 - Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/apex-legends/releases/steam-668366713382764905 - **fixed** — Resolved visual issues, diminished performance, and blue screen crashes affecting players since May 26 📝KNOWN WORKAROUND: For players experiencing visual issues, diminished performance, or blue screen crashes - especially since yesterday, 5/26 - please consider rolling back any recent driver updates.

The test will run until the end of the split (June 23rd).
