Apex Legends Season 16 Revelry goes live tomorrow and is adding some highly-demanded features into the game, including TDM, a Mixtape playlist, and much more. We have covered all of it in great detail in our previous article. But that’s not all as Season 16 is bringing crucial updates to Firing Range along with several QoL features.
The Orientation Match is also added to the game, only available to new players and should help them learn the game better. Existing players can play the said match only if they queue with new players.
