Apex Legends is a battle royale game that requires extreme reaction speeds to compete at the highest level. To do this though, you’re going to want the game itself to be performing at its peak so there’s no impairment in your gameplay.
One key way in which gamers measure the performance of their games is through FPS output and the same can be said for Apex Legends. This allows you to see what Frames Per Second your game is outputting and obviously, the higher the number, the more smooth it will feel.
However, the FPS counter in Apex Legends isn’t enabled as standard so in this article, we’ll be informing you on how to show FPS in Apex Legends. We’ll take you through all the necessary steps to get it done so you can see how well your game is performing!
