[h2]CONTROL IS BACK![/h2]

Our limited-time 9v9 mode Control is returning for two weeks with the Warriors Collection Event!

This time around Caustic Treatment on Kings Canyon has been added into the mix. So, squad up, select your loadout, and fight for total control over Olympus, Storm Point, and Kings Canyon. Brought to you by Silva Pharmaceuticals.

[h2]THE CAUSTIC TREATMENT[/h2]

Caustic Treatment has been converted into a three-point battleground for control over Kings Canyon.

Additional cover, ziplines, skydive launchers, and even a hover tank, have been added to the space. This was done with the intent of balancing the area and improving flow to the points.

Caustic’s Lab is a highly defensible fortress controlled by the right team and a combination of legends. However, with solid coordination, and a well-timed offensive push, defenders can easily be routed.

Lastly, in true Caustic fashion, you can “expedite the inevitable” by using the terminal inside his lab. Interacting with the console will raise the toxin levels, resulting in a damaging trap for legends attempting to capture B.

Apex Legends PS5 and Xbox Series X|S updates launching today

Respawn has unexpectedly announced the Apex Legends PS5 and Xbox Series X|S release date late on Monday evening, with the upgrades arriving tomorrow, March 29.

The upgrades will launch alongside the Warriors Collection event update and the return of Control in Apex Legends. However, while the upgrades' release date announcement came at an unexpected time ratings for the upgrades appeared earlier this year, suggesting they were on their way. We just didn't expect it to be so soon!

Players on either PS5 or Xbox Series X|S will only get a limited set of upgrades initially with more to be added down the line. Initially, PS5 and Xbox Series X players will get access to a 4K resolution mode, HDR support, 60 fps gameplay, improved resolution shadow maps, and a greater level of detail at longer distances in the environment. Xbox Series S players will only see an upgrade in the form of 60 fps gameplay and HDR support.
