How to possibly solve Apex Legends Season 17 update being unavailable on the PS4 and EA app

Apex Legends is one of the most famous battle royale titles in the entire esports scene. Electronic Arts strategically deploy two separate updates within a single season - one to kickstart a new season and the next to begin the seasonal split. The patches target to bring in new playable content and improve the state of the game.

The Season 17 update is reportedly not showing up for some users utilizing the EA app or the PS4 to play the game. Players can follow the steps listed below to try and fix the issue and update Apex Legends.

• Restart the game: Launch the game in the previous patch (Season 16). There is a chance that it shows that a new game version is available and automatically downloads after exiting to the desktop. The notification may not show up, but a fresh restart of the title may help the server to reconnect with the official server.
• Restart system: A quick reboot of the PC or console can prove to be useful as the platform has to connect to the servers after a complete flush.
• Check Network Connection: Players should check their network connection status to ensure that stable internet is available for the system. An unstable or inconsistent network can cause some platforms to malfunction and miss out on updates.
• Reinstall: Players can reinstall the entire game as the last option if all else fails. This should not be done without trying other available methods or before the developers release more information about the issue.

It is important to note that these are only workarounds for the Apex Legends Season 17 update not being available on the PS4 and the EA app. These methods have worked for some players and cannot be guaranteed to work for every individual.

Possible reasons

Seasonal updates are massive and usually take a toll on the official servers as well as the dedicated feature that provides them to all platforms. The rapid distribution of Apex Legend’s Season 17 update may have played a massive part in the problem.
