Apex Legends update 1.1 adds invite last squad option
Latest patch focuses on “quality of life” improvements
Respawn has released Apex Legends update 1.1, which among other features, adds a post-match invitation option enabling users to party up with the squad they most recently played with.
Available now on PC, PS4 and Xbox One, the update mainly focuses on “quality of life” improvements, according to the patch notes, which were originally posted on Reddit and are also viewable in full below.
Following the patch’s initial release, some players reported that their accounts were being reset and all of their progression being lost, but Respawn has since issued a fix on all platforms, noting: “Everything you’ve accomplished and bought in Apex up until the 1.1 Patch that went live… should be restored.”
