Alongside it also comes other additional features and tweaks, such as changes to the map and a new crafting system.
This page explains the Apex Legends Season 6 release time and what else to expect in the latest Apex Legends update.
Apex Legends Season 6 release time in BST, CEST, EDT and PDT explained
