Apex Legendsplayers can expect a ton of updates and new content coming to the battle royale over the next few weeks.Season 9’s “Legacy” brings a new weapon, new changes to the Olympus Map, and a brand new Legend entering the battle royale called Valkyrie.
However, the development team over at Respawn Entertainment isn’t just focused on the bigger changes with Legacy’s impending arrival. According to comments on Reddit, Respawn will also be looking into changing smaller elements of the game, such asApex Legends' colorblind settings.

The confirmation comes by way of Jason Garza, the community coordinator at Respawn, over on theApex Legendssubreddit. Garza responded to a post asking for some quality of life changes changes to colorblind settings involving specific character abilities. The post notes that it can be hard for colorblind players to see scans fromrecon characters like Cryptoand Bloodhound, as their scans still show up red instead of matching the colorblind reticle colors. For example, if players have the colorblind setting set to “tritanopia” which makes reticles yellow, the scan abilities still show up in the original red instead of yellow.
Additionally, Respawn has a great track record of addressing quality of life issues that makeApex Legendsas inclusive as possible. Still, it’s also possible that this update may take a bit more time to implement than expected, considering the development team is going to have a lot to focus on withSeason 9’s new content additions. Though Season 9 is still a couple weeks out, Respawn has already made it clear that this season is undoubtedly one of the biggest thatApex Legendshas seen in its two years of release.
It definitely seems like the case, as the little that’s been seen of the update so far is already painting a big picture for the future ofApex Legends. For instance the game is getting anall new mode called the Arena, which seems to be far more than just a small-scale side addition to the main game. Moreover, Respawn’s change from the conventional numbered seasons in favor of season titles suggests that the team is planning to shake up the future ofApex Legendsgoing forward. Hopefully, that future continues to include quality of life changes that makesApex Legendsmuch more inclusive for all players.
Apex Legendsis available now on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One, with a mobile version currently in beta testing.
