Apex Legendsis an online multiplayer first-person shooter game, which naturally requires several servers to be set up, as per region requirements. The servers play a huge part in the overall gameplay experience in online shooter games since the game has to take into account multiple real-time player inputs. This makes ping an integral aspect for players, and it is recommended for players to ensure that their ping is as low as possible, which translates into the game receiving player inputs quicker.
Apex Legendshas several regions covering North America and Europe and typically has at least one server per region in Asia and Africa. However, there are also several countries that do not have a dedicated server, largely due to a lack of a substantial player base. For players in those regions, changing the server becomes a necessity.
Changing the server onApex Legendsis a straightforward process, and the game also informs players about the expected ping they will receive on each server, and whether there is any chance of packet loss. For those unfamiliar, packet loss also causes lag while gaming and it refers to instances when some data from a player’s console or PC does not reach the game server in due time.
