Capping your FPS in Apex Legends on Steam is actually pretty straightforward! Right-click on Apex Legends in your Steam Library, go to Properties, then Set Launch Options. Here, you can add "+fps_max <number>" to set your desired FPS cap. So, if you want to cap at 144 FPS, you would type "+fps_max 144". Remember, setting the right FPS cap can help your game run smoother and reduce strain on your graphics card!

Just use the in-game settings, no need to mess with launch options. Go to the Video settings tab in Apex, and there you should find the FPS target option. Adjust it as needed. Easy and no need for extra steps.

If you're experiencing screen tearing or just want to make your gameplay smoother, setting a FPS limit is a good idea. I did this through the Steam launch options and noticed an immediate improvement in how the game felt. Plus, it's a good way to keep your GPU from working too hard during those all-night gaming sessions. Just add "+fps_max 60" or whatever your preferred cap is in the launch options like the first suggestion says. Worked like a charm for me!
