Like the blog post for Apex legends, not to much information just enough to get me going with the controls.
post coming from a complete game newbie I’ve just downloaded the game as its free on my steam account and I want to test out the upgraded CPU / GPU set up on this desktop built for mining crypto and letting me work in the foreground.
So I will post back learning to game on Apex legends with the control ‘input’ (pun intended) from this blog post
Thanks Again
