Apex Legends, the popular battle royale game from Respawn Entertainment, is reportedly getting a next-gen port. This news comes from a series of job listings posted by the developer, which suggest that the game is being developed for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
The job listings, which were posted on the official Respawn Entertainment website, are for a “Next-Gen Console Programmer” and a “Next-Gen Console Technical Artist”. Both positions are for the development of Apex Legends, and the listings specifically mention the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
This news comes as no surprise, as many other popular games have already been announced for the next-gen consoles. It’s likely that Apex Legends will be one of the first battle royale games to make the jump to the new hardware.
The next-gen port of Apex Legends will likely feature improved visuals, faster loading times, and other enhancements that take advantage of the new hardware. It’s also possible that the game will feature cross-play between the current and next-gen versions, allowing players to compete against each other regardless of which console they’re playing on.
It’s unclear when the next-gen port of Apex Legends will be released, but it’s likely that it will be available sometime in 2021. Until then, fans of the game can look forward to the upcoming season 8, which is set to launch later this year.
