Here’s exactly when Apex Legends Season 10 begins
And patch notes for the new update.
Apex Legends Season 10, titled Emergence, begins August 3. We’re here to tell you all you need to know about the upcoming Battle Pass. Want to know what time the next big update is expected to release and what it will contain? Then you’ve come to the right place.
When is the Apex Legends Season 10 start date and time?
Like with Seasons 8 and 9, the Apex Legends Season 10 will be released August 3 at 1 p.m. Eastern. The precise release time was included with the update’s patch notes released just a few hours before.
A few prior seasons went live around 11 p.m. Eastern at the height of the pandemic in an effort to reduce network congestion, but Respawn is seemingly returning to the recently established 1 p.m. pattern for Season 10. On PlayStation, the Season 10 update is expected to be labeled as version 1.76.
