Apex Legends Mobile has been finally released worldwide for Android and iOS. With thousands of players in the Outlands looking to battle it out and be the last man standing, excitement is high. However, like any other FPS game, Apex Mobile is one that is best enjoyed with the highest frame rate possible. While you may not get up to the 120 frame rate you see on gaming PCs, there is a way to get that sweet 90 FPS freedom and smoothness on your Apex Legends Mobile (well, sort of). So if you’re a fellow legend looking to ramp up your frame rate, keep reading as I show you the how-to below.
Before I show you the process to get 90 FPS on Apex Mobile, I will explain a bit more about the situation. However, if you would rather cut to the chase, use the table below to do so:

Can You Get 90FPS in Apex Legends Mobile?
The simple answer is no, as you cannot get 90 FPS on Apex Mobile. However, before you point fingers at us, hear me out. While you may not be able to get 90 FPS in Apex Mobile, you can get 80 FPS. Yes, it seems like the developers have managed to optimize the game to deliver up to 80 FPS instead of true 90 FPS at the moment. And after having played the game for some time on the setting, I can promise you that 80 FPS looks and feels better than the 60 FPS you might be getting right now.
Devices That Support the Extreme Setting
Now, it is important to note that the Extreme aka 80 FPS setting in Apex Legends Mobile is only available on iOS devices, and more specifically, only on the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max right now. To double-check this, we tried out the game on an iPhone 12 Pro, and the extreme setting was absent. The same absence also applies to the iPad Pro line too. Furthermore, we also put the best Android flagship, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, to the same test, and we didn’t find any 90 FPS support.
Make sure you are signed in on your Apex Mobile account and have gone through the tutorial. With that done, open the game and follow the steps below.
Next, tap on the “Graphics and Audio” option on the right sidebar. Here, you will see a variety of settings aimed toward your graphics.
Under the frame rate setting, select the “Extreme” option to enable high FPS support.
Tap the “OK” button on the notice that appears to finish the process.
Besides the Display FPS option, make sure to tap the “On” button if you haven’t already. This way, you will be able to see the change in FPS in real-time right on your HUD.
And that’s it! As I mentioned above, you won’t be able to change your Graphics Quality to anything other than Normal when the Extreme frame rare option is active. So if you find that bothers you, revert back to your previous FPS setting. You can now jump into any match and see the change in real-time.
Does Extreme FPS Setting Feel Any Different?
I’ve dropped onto World’s Edge and played a few matches on the Extreme Setting. Comparing it to my iPhone 13, which is capped to 60 FPS, the Extreme setting definitely feels like an improvement.
Since Apex Legends Mobile, like its native PC brother, is focused on quick combat, the extra almost 90 FPS option help in securing more kills. With the extra 20 FPS, you see faster, can peek angles better, and run around collecting the respawn markers of your irresponsible teammates even more smoothly. If you find yourself with a compatible iPhone model that has this setting, turn it on and play a couple of matches to see for yourself!
