Apex Legends: Latest Update Patch Notes (23rd June 2026)

Split 2 kicked off strong, but Respawn's already dealing with fallout. The studio is rolling out a fix for ranked matches starting with fewer than 60 players, a pretty significant problem when you're trying to climb the ladder, and expects it fully resolved by end of day.

Map rotations got borked too. They're stuck on 24-hour cycles instead of the intended 4.5-hour rotation, but that'll self-correct once the current window expires. More pressing: players are reporting FPS drops, and Respawn's investigating whether it's a driver issue, shader compilation, or something else entirely. The workaround for now is disabling Hyperthreading and updating your GPU drivers, though the studio notes it might just sort itself out after a match or two.

There's also a correction on the new Executioner Hop-Up, it regenerates 50 shields over 5 seconds, not 10 as initially stated. And one more thing to watch: some players can't move after dropping from the ship, which Respawn is actively looking into.

Here's what the full patch notes cover in detail.
