Community ManagerRe: How much internet does Apex Legends use?
The connection requirement states 512Kbits/s, this equates to ~230Megabytes/h.
Tethering via mobile is not advised.
Thanks.

It's not thruth. I have 2 mb/s and game is laging on the beging as hell. When i look up on my task manager game is taking all my internet usage, its look like IN GAME download system ... This is kind of a joke from developer who write that bad functionality ... In other games i dont have that issue (for example in COD 4 or CS:GO or in Overwatch, all the time my ping is stable and internet usage is not heigher than 0,3 - 0,4 mb/s) - maybe because there devs are thinking ... I dont know but this "IN GAME" download is the stupid think i ever seen and for me and other ppl with low internet speed, game is unplayable.
My internet runs at about 2mbit download and 1mbit upload w/ 80-100 ping and the game still refuses to work on my internet.
This video provides an analysis of the current netcode implementation of Apex. I know I've seen it brought up here before, but some others may not have seen it.
The entire video is worth a watch, but below are some key timestamps everyone should be aware of. The last point being directly related to your question, @nemanjagag191, as well as your issue @ididntrushb.
1:44 - Data Center Selection Process
2:58 - Server and Client Send Rates
5:09 - Bandwidth Usage
but is your answer per day or week or month?

MBit is not a megabyte. your connection 2mbit = 125kb x 2 = 250 KB a second which is about half of the required bandwidth for the game.
i am using my mobile data for playing apex, on playing for 30min my whole data of 1.2 GB was finished, from your answer i don't think this is supposed to happen. Can i know what is taking this much data?
- Thanks
I belive it uses around 30 internets per hour.
- This is definitely not supposed to happen, are you sure your PS didn't download a game update while you were playing?
As I stated before, after moving out of town 2+ years ago I had to go to 4G or quit playing. I noticed very little/no difference in gameplay vs my old 100/20 up/down cable connection. I haven't ever come close to my 15 GB monthly hotspot limit unless I was downloading update files/installs for games.
7 days in this month I have used 1.7 GB of data. I have played Apex at least 4 nights (maybe 5) of the cycle playing at least 3-4 hours at a time if not more. - @ididntrushb well its no wonder it doesn't work with that kind of internet. Can you even load a webpage? 2 megabits is nothing, and 80-100 ping is terrible.
While its HD quality downloading.....Will it be slow to duos or trios
like * you ea
who defuq tells internet in hours
I have 90mb/s and i can play ,they lies. I have all the signs that the game is crashing, but the game wins players with better internet ,dont start playing if you dont have 1gb/s .this game does not have internet speed limitation. Stupid
you need improve this issiu
