Respawn fixes input lag on Xbox Series version Apex Legends

Respawn released a patch for the Xbox Series version of Apex Legends on Tuesday. The patch should eliminate the input lag that has plagued several Xbox Series players over the past two weeks.

“We’ve just released a minor update to Apex Legends to address input lag issues on Xbox Series X|S consoles,” writes Respawn Tuesday. The lag is probably due to a major update that came out for the shooter on June 22.

Players of the Xbox Series version of Apex Legends complained since then that the input via their controllers was not registered or registered too late. The problem mainly occurred with the newer Xbox controllers and Elite Series 2 controllers. A workaround proposed was removing recent firmware updates.

After downloading the patch, players don’t seem to be bothered by input lag anymore. It’s not clear why this issue only occurred with the current generation of Xbox consoles.
