While Xbox One and PS4 owners don’t have to worry about the game performing well on their consoles, PC players need to know a wealth of information to make sure the game runs as well as possible.

One of the things PC players look into, especially for online games, is their FPS. A slight dip in FPS could be the difference between getting that once-in-a-million headshot.

There isn’t an option in the game to enable an FPS counter, but there is a way to turn it on through the Origin client.

To enable Apex Legends’ FPS Counter, just follow these simple steps:

  • Open the Origin client.
  • Click the “Origin” option on top the top of the client.
  • Click on “Application Settings” and a new window should open.
  • Once open, click the More option and select “Origin In Game” which will open another menu.
  • Scroll down and you’ll find a new section called “During Gameplay”
  • There should be an option to display an FPS counter in-game and you can choose where it goes.
  • Select the option you want and an FPS section will appear on all games you use in the future on Origin, including Apex Legends.
