Every season of Apex Legends, the biggest changes to the game and more.
Ever since Apex Legends launched in 2019, there have been 6 maps, 25 Legends, and 24 seasons. Respawn Entertainment, the company behind Apex Legends, has kept up a steady stream of content to fuel the game ever since. Additionally, every season usually lasts about three months and introduces a new Legend, new weapon, or some sort of major change to the game.
The most recent season, Season 24, started on February 11, 2025 and brought some huge changes to the game. For the first time ever in Apex Legends, every weapon was buffed at the same time. This was combined with armour changes and the removal of helmets to massively overhaul how TTK (time to kill) feels in the game.
There was also the introduction of weapon arsenals. These let you grab a weapon, ammo and some attachments quickly and easily. The huge changes to Assault Legends in Season 24 made Ash the most picked Legend and hugely shifted the meta in favour of aggressive, front foot gameplay.
