Hey @kdubfl87. 

Do you have automatic updates for applications active on your PS4? If you go to your PS4 Settings and then go to System you should see the Automatic Updates section. Check and see if you have the option for Applications enabled there. 

Let me know what you find out. Thanks!

@EA_Kent Hi Kent,

Yes, automatically download application update files Is checked and I am a PS plus member. Other applications are downloading automatically as intended. It seems to just be this game.

    Gotcha, thanks! 

    It is definitely weird that it's only happening with Apex Legends. I'm wondering if there's something in the console data that might be causing this. Would it be possible to try rebuilding the database on your PS4 to see if that helps at all? 

    First, start up your PS4 in Safe Mode. Choose the Rebuild Database option from the menu. It may take a few minutes to complete. Let me know if you're still running into the same issue afterward.
