Apex Legends Tells Street Fighter 6 Event Players to Install the September 22 Update
Matches can still load without the download, but fully closing the game first should resolve most problems with the Wildcard event.
Apex Legends players who plan to enter the Street Fighter 6 Wildcard event should fully close the game and install the September 22 update first. The reminder targets issues affecting players who try to enter the new event without downloading the update.
Matches can still load without the download, but the event may not work as intended. Closing Apex Legends before downloading the update should resolve most problems, according to the game’s September 22 Steam update notice.
The Street Fighter 6 Wildcard event is built around Fighter Gear inspired by Ryu, Chun-Li, Akuma, and Dhalsim. The crossover also brings Hadokens, Shoryukens, and a third-person Fighter Form to the mode, so installing the update before queueing should help players avoid problems with those event systems.
