Apex Legends is a fast-paced battle royale hero shooter by Respawn. Here are the full PC specs and best settings for smooth gameplay.

What Is Apex Legends?

Apex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale hero shooter developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by EA. Teams of three compete to be the last squad standing on large maps, with each player choosing a Legend (character) with unique abilities. Launched in 2019 to massive success, it remains one of the most played free-to-play shooters.

PC Requirements

Minimum (720p, Low, 60 FPS):
  • CPU: Intel Core i3-6300 / AMD FX-4350
  • GPU: NVIDIA GT 640 / AMD Radeon HD 7730
  • RAM: 6 GB
  • Storage: 56 GB SSD
Recommended (1080p, Medium-High, 60 FPS):
  • CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K / AMD Ryzen 5 (Zen 2+)
  • GPU: NVIDIA GTX 970 / AMD Radeon R9 290
  • RAM: 8 GB

Titanfall Engine (Source Engine Variant)

Apex uses a heavily modified version of Respawn's Titanfall engine. It is a DX11-based engine that scales very well on CPU. Unlike Warzone, Apex's engine is known for good PC optimization.

Competitive Settings

  • Texture Streaming Budget: At least Medium (Low causes pop-in)
  • Shadow Detail: Low or Off for max FPS
  • Ambient Occlusion Quality: Disabled
  • Model Detail: Low (cleaner visual appearance, easier to spot enemies)
  • Adaptive Resolution FPS Target: 0 (disabled — use a fixed target instead)
  • V-Sync: Disabled
