New Apex Legends Update Fixes Frustrating Issues
Respawn Entertainment has just released a highly demanded update for Apex Legends, aimed at restoring players’ missing Breakout Legend Challenge progress. Many Apex Legends gamers experienced issues after recent patches to the game, which left them with lost progress and reset accounts.
