Respawn finally patches an 'Apex Legends' input lag issue on Xbox Series X/S

The battle royale had been 'unplayable' for many over the last two weeks.K. Holt|07.05.22

Over the last two weeks, players on the Series X/S haven't been impressed with the game. Since Respawn Entertainment rolled out a large update on June 22nd, players on those consoles have been complaining about an input lag issue. The developer might have finally solved the problem.

There are issues with input lag on the Xbox Series X and S consoles. Thank you for your patience.

It's not clear why the issue only affected current Xbox consoles, but some people said it made the game practically impossible. The game clearly wasn't registering all their inputs, even though Reaiming shared a clip of them pressing thetrigger.

Members of the community found ways to mitigate the problem until Respawn fixed it. The hope is that today's update resolves the issue so that the players have a better chance of winning. They can at least enjoy the game again if that doesn't happen.

I’ve driven 18 straight hours from San Francisco now through Wyoming on my way to Denver only stopping for gas. And it’s still a more enjoyable experience than Apex Legends with the input lag
