Apex Legends game updates and design changes

Overview

Respawn Entertainment has announced long-term design changes and updates for Apex Legends. The developer is focusing on balancing character abilities that combine high speed with high evasiveness to ensure players remain trackable during combat.

Plans include expanding the Amps system, a mechanic introduced in August 2025 that allows players to equip lootable passive abilities to customize playstyles. Additionally, technical updates have been released to address specific bugs, such as restoring Octane’s passive health restoration and correcting movement issues for Gibraltar.
