How Many GB Is The New Apex Legends Update - AddictiveTips

Apex Legends is a massive game in terms of size. It’s extensive in terms of game play and it regularly gets updates. The updates are sizeable downloads but, given how large the game is, its downloads are likely going to be proportionately big.

Apex Legends Update size

Apex Legends updates include new characters, maps, weapons, and more. While Apex Legends is an online game, it does still need to store files locally in order to be played. This is why, with each update, you will normally see a sizeable amount of files to download.

Not all Apex Legends updates are large. The game does get occasional patches which are smaller updates but across multiple platforms, you will still see updates that are at least 1GB in size.

How many GB is the new Apex Legends update?

The size of an Apex Legends update will vary based on the platform that you install it on. This doesn’t apply to just PC or platform. The update size will vary if you use Steam or if you use Origin.

The latest significant Apex Legends update is the Season 11 update. The download size for the update on various platforms is as below;

Windows PC – Steam: 9GB

Windows PC – Origin: 18 GB

PlayStation: 43GB

Xbox: 72GB

Fortnite is also available on the Switch but it seems the update size tends to vary however, the game itself is roughly 25GB in size so, if the update were as big as the game is now, you can expect a 25GB download. That said, given that the Switch is a more portable/smaller console, the update shouldn’t be that big.

How to download game updates faster

If you’re looking to download a massive game update (or a massive game for that matter), there isn’t anything that you can do to reduce its size. You can, however, speed up the download in a few ways.

• Download outside of peak hours; regardless of how fast your internet connection is, your ISP has its own peak hours when more people use it which impacts the speed you get. Try to download outside peak hours e.g., early in the morning or when school/work is in session.
• Don’t download anything else and try to keep other devices offline or from using the connection while the update is downloading.
• Try to always keep Apex Legends up to date if you play regularly. You won’t have to wait of older updates to download before the newer ones can.
