The first-person shooter genre is one of the largest and most popular genres in the industry. Some games are still leading the way even after more than a decade, others we have chosen are new to the scene but are no less stellar. From hardcore tactical shooters like Rainbow Six Siege to behemoths like Call of Duty Warzone, this is our list of the best FPS games you can play right now on console. Nailing an FPS game is no easy task, and the developers behind these games are experts in their craft. While FPS games are often criticized for being samey or looking generic, we couldn't disagree more, and this list proves it. We'd even rank some of them among the best games of all time.

Respawn says it’s putting out a series of updates to the game designed to help keep people safe. Yup, following the postponement of the North American finals of the Apex Legends Global Series due to some participants being given aimbots and the ability to see through walls, we’ve all been waiting for the game’s developers to address what that might mean for the rest of us. After both Epic Games and the company behind the game’s anti-cheat software shot down one theory as to the cause of the hacks following their own investigations, that answer’s now arrived from Respawn. In a statement posted to Twitter, Respawn has provided an update from the Apex team. “On Sunday, a few professional Apex Legends player accounts were hacked during an ALGS event,” it confirms, continuing: “Game and player security are our highest priorities, which is why we paused the competition to address the issue immediately.” Read more The Molten Mayhem Store burns with limited-time discounts!Mar 19, 2024 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38098458/37064e37086c68cc95472689f863c9ab54c535d6.png From March 19 - 26 turn up the heat with limited-time discounts on bundles & more in Apex Legends.

Probably best to wait until it's clear you're not at risk of seeing through wallsMar 18, 2024 - VG247Ok, you might be good at Apex Legends, but odds are you’re not good enough to be able to gaze through solid surfaces. That said, following some incidents of hackers giving pro players some competitive advantages they didn’t ask for, players are currently concerned that they might be at risk of having something similar happen to them. Yup, the North American finals of the Apex Legends Global Series - a competition that sees people who’re very good at shooting each other, well, shoot each other - have recently had to be postponed midway through because people were getting unexpected help. It looks like an exploit being used on the game’s anti-cheat measures could be to blame, but it’s probably best to take a break until that’s officially confirmed or denied. What happened to kick all of this off? Well, Apex pro Noyan Ozkose, who goes by the handle Genburten, suddenly found himself able to see every other player in his session, despite there being, you know, walls in between them and him. It looks like he was basically forced to hop straight out of the match once he realised what was going on, which is a pretty big headache.

But be warned, Prey can also outlast the duration of the hunt or eliminate their Hunters to claim rewards. Ensnare limited-time event cosmetics like Bloodhound’s “Prowler Guardian” skin and the “Mawful” C.A.R. SMG skin, tailor-made for close-quarter takedowns. Capture all 24 limited-time items before the event ends to receive Octane’s Butterfly Knife heirloom—sharp enough to slice through the densest jungle...and enemy squads. NEW TAKEOVER: THE HUNT {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38098458/48f3c5c19209acd5f9ea429d252f49daadb4d950.jpg Look for Hunts, unique datapads with tracking data, in non-Ranked Battle Royale matches to discover and be assigned a Prey squad for you to hunt to their elimination—or yours. Hunts are available across the map and can be activated at any time during the match. Initiate a Hunt and let the tracking begin! Enemy squads will be randomly selected and marked as Prey for a limited-time. Keep a watchful eye as Hunters will receive updated tracking data while they’re on the prowl. And tread lightly, your Prey will be warned once you’re within a dangerous range of them (~70m). Each time a Hunt is activated, another squad is selected to be the Hunters and a second one becomes the Prey. Succeed in your tracking for a bonus reward, but if you fall to your Prey then the reward will be bestowed upon them instead. Don’t stay still for long, your squad could be next.

Each Legend will have a set of challenges to permanently unlock that Legend. Complete all Breakout Rewards Challenges before the season ends to unlock more rewards like the Reactive “Top Tier” Flatline and the Legendary “Runaway Renegade” Wraith. Check out the full breakdown, including Legends and chase rewards, in our Breakout Rewards blog. https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legends/news/breakout-rewards BREAKOUT MAP ROTATION https://media.contentapi.ea.com/content/dam/apex-legends/common/breakout-patch-notes/s20-launch-map-worldsedge-r01-v01.png.adapt.1920w.png The following maps will be available in Trios and Duos for the season: Olympus Storm Point World’s Edge PERFORMANCE MODE: 120HZ On PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X, the Video Settings menu has a new “Performance” mode option that is available to players with 120Hz displays. This option targets 120 FPS performance with content optimizations and reductions to visual quality. To achieve 120 FPS, current-gen consoles now run on a new multithreaded rendering system, built on top of the Rendering Hardware Interface (RHI). Previously, even with GPU optimizations, the Apex rendering engine has been bottlenecked by single-threaded rendering code, which could not scale to the capabilities of modern hardware. This new system allows us to fully utilize the GPU and forms the foundation for future improvements to the rendering engine. CRAFTING Breakout brings a complete rework to Crafting, streamlining the system. Welcome to Crafting 2.0, legends! Replicators have quite a few changes, including a fancy new paint job. They are now free to use, and no longer require crafting materials—we’ve removed them and crafting rotations. When you open the crafting menu, you’ll see that the available options have been reduced: Shield Battery, Medkit, Ammo, and Player Banners. Printing any item will exhaust that replicator specifically for you. You’ll need to find another one if you want another item, so choose wisely. To offset the single-use system, the number of available Replicators have been increased across the board. Every game will start with 12 Replicators spawned at the start of the match, with an additional Replicator airdrop at the start of Round 4 to add some late-game opportunities. We’re also including a few quality of life changes for Crafting: Decreased interaction time with Replicators Inventory can now be accessed from the crafting menu Printed items left alone will auto-eject from the Replicator after some time WORLD’S EDGE: RAMPART’S BIG MAUDE With crafting materials gone, Rampart has been figuring out how to get more customers through her door, and what better way than with a Fire Sale!

Drop hotter and hit different with Legend Upgrades—a new system that puts the meta in your hands by unlocking enhancements for armor and abilities. Each match is a fresh start and there’s no better time than now to try new strats on for size. Ranked returns reloaded and ready, tuned to a high-risk high-reward system that incentivizes combat through each split—yup, splits are back. Plus, make your Thunderdome debut in Mixtape, the Frontier’s deadliest entertainment venue. And that’s not all—Performance Mode, Breakout Rewards, a 5th Anniversary Collection Event, and even more. We’re bringing the noise for a fantastic 5th Anniversary season. LEGEND UPGRADES {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38098458/bd89e0b356569a8c76046a5ea9705561f2fe3135.png Introducing the Legend Upgrade system—an in-match progression system that deepens the Apex Legends Battle Royale experience by allowing you to tailor your Legend to your playstyle. This new feature will restart with each match, giving you the opportunity to try different upgrades on for size. Earning EVO will now Level-Up your Legend over the course of the game, improving your armor tier and unlocking unique upgrade selections at Levels 2 and 3. Choose wisely, as your decision can impact your whole squad’s strategy. Legend Upgrades and EVO changes will be limited to Battle Royale modes with Breakout. Stay tuned for our Breakout Patch Notes blog on February 12, 2024, for each Legend’s upgrade tree. RANKED RELOADED {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38098458/d7630abd7c25e6e19ed28e1a388ef50ca2aa5c84.jpg Scoring will be moving to a more transparent model similar to that of past seasons, placing a heavier emphasis on eliminations over placements. Your hidden skill rating will have no influence on either matchmaking or scoring. The bonus system has also been updated to provide more insight and Player Rankings will now be visible. We’ll also be returning to an improved Ranked Point system. With these changes, this also means that entry cost will return: 20 RP per Tier starting at Silver. ELIMINATION SCORING Elimination score continues scaling with placements—the value of each elimination will increase the higher your team places. There’ll be no hard cap placed on the number of eliminations a player will be scored on nor the amount of points gained from them. Instead, eliminations after the sixth will be worth half of their value. BONUSES There are a couple key bonuses that we want to call out with Breakout’s Ranked changes. Top 5 Streak Bonus: for maintaining a placement streak of 5th or better. Everytime you extend your streak you’ll earn 10RP more than your previous match, up to a maximum of a 40 RP bonus. 2 match streak: +10 RP 3 match streak: +20 RP 4 match streak: +30 RP 5+ match streak: +40 RP Challenger Bonus: earn a 50% bonus on an elimination of a higher ranked player when you’ve personally contributed. This bonus is unaffected by the eli...Apex Legends is the First Game to Top Fortnite 10 Days in a Row on TwitchFeb 13, 2019 - GitHypWith a growing list of failed battle royale games that at one point had thriving player bases and viewer numbers, Epic’s Fortnite looked to continue its dominance in 2019 with no real competition in sight… that is, until the creators of Titanfall dropped in last week out of nowhere with Apex Legends. Last year, many believed triple-A military shooters, Call of Duty and Battlefield, could take over the battle royale genre in 2019. But with the hype for both now at an all-time low, EA and Respawn's brilliant marketing strategy, improved BR mechanics, and free-to-play format have resulted in Apex Legends becoming the most successful new game since Fortnite. Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 was actually the first game to take attention away from Fortnite for a whole week during the end of 2018; peaking with 508k concurrent viewers on Twitch and holding the #1 position for 8 days in a row. But unlike Black Ops 4, which saw its viewer base decline by 66% in its first week, Apex Legends has kept the interest of top streamers and its viewer base has grown over time -- keeping it in the #1 position on Twitch for a record-breaking 10 days in a row. Yesterday’s first-ever tournament for the game was Apex Legends' biggest day yet with a peak of 670k concurrent viewers during Twitch Rivals where team Kings Canyon’s Ninja, King Richard, and Dizzy took home the W. Compared to the game’s peak viewer count of 486k viewers on its launch day, Apex Legends has since seen viewership rise by 38%; which is a great sign that Apex could have some serious staying power at the top, especially when considering the hype for most new games usually fades away by their second week on Twitch. Player counts for Apex Legends also seem to be aligning once again with viewers' interest on Twitch. Respawn’s CEO, Vince Zampella, announced that the game broke 10 million unique players and 1 million concurrent players just 72 hours after launching. And just 4 days after his first announcement, Zampella also revealed that Apex Legends has already more than doubled that number with 25 million unique players and well over 2 million concurrent players at its peak. Seeing Apex Legends grow so quickly is reminiscent of Fornite’s meteoric rise after Epic shifted their focus to the battle royale genre. Unfortunately, at the moment all we have are official announcements from Respawn regarding the game’s continued growth... So for now, viewership on Twitch is currently our best indicator of the current state of the game, and as long as it keeps increasing at the top of Twitch, it's safe to say that the player counts are too.
