Apex Legends is among the most popular battle royale shooters in the market and fans of the title will now be able to play the game on mobile devices too. To wit, two years since it was first announced, Electronic Arts is finally launching the game for Android and iOS devices across the globe. Unsurprisingly, there is a lot of commotion on the interwebs pertaining to the game’s performance and how it will scale across a myriad of different SoCs. If you find yourself in the same boat then read on, as today, I will be listing the graphics and FPS setting for Apex Legends Mobile on some of the most popular mobile chipsets.
First things first, let’s take a closer look at the title’s in-game graphics and FPS settings. On that note, the game allows users to switch between five different graphics settings namely Smooth, Normal, HD, Ultra HD, Extreme HD and Original. It goes without saying that the Original preset offers the best visuals of the lot, however, it is bound to tax and heat your device all that more as well. As for the FPS settings, the game comprises four different tabs dubbed Normal (30FPS), High (40FPS), Very High (50FPS) and Ultra (60FPS). What’s more, much like other BR titles like BGMI and CoD Mobile, buyers can mix and match various graphics and FPS presets to get the best performance out of their device. But, enough chitter-chatter – let’s take a look at how the game scales on various mobile SoCs.
