Apex Legends update 2.93 was released on August 26 for all platforms, addressing several annoying bugs. It patches replicator ping behavior, Lifeline Spotlight challenge progression, Predator rank auras, and resets Xbox settings. The patch is small but valuable, and it may help resolve some frustrating match moments for players.
This is a minor update, the second one this week; the earlier change was a server-side fix addressing the RE-45 and Evo Harvester issues.

Here’s what’s new, according to Respawn:
- Xbox users will no longer have their settings unexpectedly reset
- Predator Auras should now display correctly when first reaching that rank
- The Lifeline Spotlight Challenge for restoring health with D.O.C. will now progress as intended
