Season 20 saw the introduction of Legend Upgrades, the Ranked getting reverted to the old system, as well as a ton of weapon and Legend tweaks. But, along with all that came the long-awaited next-generation console update, allowing Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 players to finally experience 120hz gameplay. However, the Apex Legends community looks to be disappointed. Apex players disappointed with next-gen update On February 13, shortly after Season 20\u2019s release, several Reddit threads appeared as players discussed the next-gen console upgrade. \u201c120 fps console update feels underwhelming,\u201d one player wrote. They continued: \u201cThe visuals are absolutely terrible. If you more than 50 m away everything looks washed out in pixelated and muggy, I can only imagine how it will look in game when is hard enough to see people as it is. \u201cThere\u2019s no reason why the Xbox series X and the PS5 visuals are cap them two consoles can run 120 FPS at 1440 easy I can\u2019t speak for the series S, but I\u2019m pretty sure it probably could too. it just feels underwhelming.\u201d Not only that, in a different post, one explained how they\u2019re let down by the update and super disappointed after supposedly waiting years for the upgrade. \u201cCan\u2019t believe I\u2019ve waiting years for 120hz for it to be this bad,\u201d they said. \u201cIt literally looks like I\u2019m playing on a switch. It seems like 720p maximum. Anyone else super disappointed? No other 120hz game on ps5 looks this bad.\u201d In the replies, many more agreed, explaining it feels underwhelming. \u201cI agree, such a long awaited update and feels underwhelming,\u201d said one. \u201cI do enjoy smoothness a lot, but resolution drops way too much.. I was expecting a compromise, but not to this extent \u2013 feels good, but looks sh*t on a 4K TV.\u201d \u201cUnderwhelming is an understatement, and you\u2019re being too nice. It looks like absolute shit,\u201d another player hit out. \u201cAnd maybe it\u2019s just me, but did they manage to make audio even worse? Again?..\u201d Others are hopeful that the quality issues are a bug, and improvements will come as time goes on. \u201cI\u2019m going to hope there\u2019s a bug or something and it actually isn\u2019t this bad,\u201d one wrote. \u201cAt least this gives me time to pick out a good monitor while they hopefully improve\/fix it.\u201d Nevertheless, we\u2019ll just have to wait and see if improvements come in future updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apex Legends players disappointed with \u201cunderwhelming\u201d 120 fps console update Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends players have explained their disappointment with the next-gen console upgrade in Season 20, claiming the long-awaited update is \u201cunderwhelming.\u201d Apex Legends Season 20 finally arrived on February 13, and although there were no new considerable additions to the battle royale, it was [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15870","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15870","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15870"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15870\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15870"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15870"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15870"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
