3 Biggest Changes in Apex Legends May 27 Update
By Nathan Fusco
Respawn Entertainment released a new Apex Legends patch focusing on glitches and Valkyrie balancing. Despite a rather slow content release in 2020, Respawn fired back well with Season 9. Players were able to play a brand new game mode and a dynamic new Legend. Some players are still frustrated with the matchmaking, but overall, the fanbase has been rather pleased.
And it hasn't taken long for Respawn to start balancing the new game mode and Legend.
Another minor @playapex patch rolling out now. See details below!

Also heads up that we need more time to work out the kinks with Arenas leaver penalties. We're now hoping to bring those back with a patch that's currently scheduled for one week from now. pic.twitter.com/xHZhOovQEm
3 Biggest Changes in Apex Legends May 27 Update
1. Valkyrie Adjustment
- Hovering while using Valk's tactical now consumes the same amount of fuel compared to hovering while not using her tactical. This is a balance change meant to address Valkyrie players staying out of the fight for extended periods of time in late-game circles.
2. Switch Fixes
- Fixed an issue with Switch users being kicked from the game due to system clock manipulation. Sorry Animal Crossing time travelers! Go get your bells.
- Added a missing confirmation message after purchasing the Bloodhound x Lifeline edition
3. Glitches Fixed
- Fixed the "Win X rounds in Arenas" challenges not tracking wins correctly
- Fixed a flickering issue caused by Legends with light effects in the lobby
- Miscellaneous stability fixes
