Apex Legends Update 2.76 Rolled Out, Final Fantasy 7 Lunar Rebirth Collection Event Kicks Off Jan. 21
[summaraize]
Respawn released Apex Legends update 2.76 today (version 1.000.090 on PS5/XSX), and is an unannounced patch. Alongside the title update, the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth 7 collab event is back with the Lunar Rebirth Collection Event kicking off next week to celebrate the release of Final FF7 Rebirth on PC (Jan. 23).
Alongside the patch and event, we’ve also listed the known issues Respawn is looking into as a reference on what to expect in future patches. We’re not discounting the idea that the data for the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth event is part of today’s title update download.
Apex Legends’ New Update for January 16 Coincides With a New Collection Event Announcement
Respawn has not released any patch notes, which leads us to believe that this title update houses the data for the Final Fantasy 7 event. There is one known big issue that Respawn is looking into, and that’s the discrepancy in RP earned. Just a few days ago, te studio noted that a fix for this is being sorted, so there’s a good possibility that it was part of today’s fixes.
Per Respawn, “Heads up, legends: We recently identified an issue in PlayApex that was causing a discrepancy between RP earned and promotions in Ranked matches. We’re currently in the process of rolling out a fix to correct the issue and restore accounts to their intended Ranks. As a result, some players may see their Rank increase after today.”
Respawn says the fixes in this patch includes:
- Voice and text chat not working while in a lobby is now resolved
- D.O.C. no longer reveals a cloaked Mirage
- Fixed an issue where VFX on Reactive Skins wasn’t displaying correctly after swapping weapons
- Resolved some visual issues in PC lobbies
- Temporarily removed the Attrition G7 Scout Skin due to a bug
For the list of known issues, head on below (straight from the official Apex Legends Trello Board)
INVESTIGATING
- [Visual Error] Astral Anomaly shows progress without playing yet
- [Xbox] FPS drops with Bloodhound Ult
- Founder’s badge shows as locked, but can still be equipped

FIX IN PROGRESS
