    Hi 0uyymerr3yow​,

    Thanks for reporting this.

    Just to clarify, did the FPS drops and stuttering start after a recent game update?

    The team recently released an update to address FPS drops affecting some PC players. If you haven't seen it yet, you can find more details here:

    Apex Legends: Latest Update – 06/25/2026 – 5:20 PM PT

    If you've already installed the latest update and are still experiencing the issue, you could also try the following:

    • If you've recently updated your graphics driver, consider rolling back to a previous stable version, as some players have reported improved performance after doing so.
    • Make sure Apex Legends is running on your dedicated GPU (if applicable).
    • Close any unnecessary background applications or overlays.
    • Try limiting your FPS.
    • Check your CPU and GPU usage in Task Manager while the game is running.
    • If supported by your system, try enabling Core Isolation in Windows Security.

     

    Please let us know if the issue improves after trying these steps. We'd be happy to continue looking into it with you.
