Apex Legends Season 12 Defiance system requirements

Apex Legends started on a high note after its new season, Defiance, was released on February 8, 2022. Since then, players have come across a ton of changes in the game.

This has been the first seasonal transition for the game and fans might be wondering if the specifications to play the game have changed. The studio has kept almost every required specification the same since the day of its inception.

However, the storage requirements have changed as more updates are rolled out, thereby adding more content to the game.
