The native new-gen upgrade is finally available for the popular free-to-play battle royale shooter, Apex Legends.

While Apex Legends has already been playable on new-gen consoles via backwards compatibility, we can now take advantage of the upgrades available to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Furthermore, along with the release of the native new-gen upgrades, EA and Respawn Entertainment have launched the Warriors Collection Event.

Here are the new-gen upgrades that you can enjoy as of right now, as well as what the Warriors Event Collection brings:

  • Next-Gen Updates – PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series X players will see improvements with this latest patch, including 4k output, full 60hz gameplay, HDR, higher resolution shadow maps and greater LOD distances.
  • Control is Back – The limited-time 9v9 mode Control is returning for two weeks, this time with the addition of Caustic Treatment on Kings Canyon.
  • The Caustic Treatment – Caustic Treatment has been converted into a three-point battleground for control over Kings Canyon. The battleground now comes equipped with additional cover, ziplines, skydive launchers, a hover tank and more to allow for increased balance and improved flow.
  • New Arenas Map: Drop-Off – The new map towers high above the Malta skyline at the fully-automated Hammond Manufacturing Tower. Codenamed Drop-Off, Arenas fighters covertly commandeer the place at night for fierce matches under the smoggy skies.
  • Event Items – The event introduces a new set of 24 themed, limited-time cosmetics, including skins such as the “Synthetic Huntress” Ash Skin, “Riding Dirty” Octane Skin, “Jewel Olympus” Horizon Skin, “Combat Survivalist” Lifeline and more.
  • Reward Tracker – Each week of the event has its own rewards track. Players can earn points and refresh their challenges every day. The Warriors Collection Event will also feature a stretch challenge that rewards four unique badges if players complete them during the event.
