Is Apex Legends on Source Engine?
Yep, Apex Legends actually runs on a modified version of the Source Engine. It's the same engine Valve used for games like Half-Life and Portal, but Respawn tweaked it to handle their fast-paced battle royale. So when you're sliding down hills or zipping around, you've got Source to thank for the smooth moves.

Short answer: Yes, it's on the Source Engine. But think of it as Source Engine on a workout plan and some serious tech upgrades. Respawn did a lot of custom work to make Apex feel as good as it does.
Honestly, it's Source, but not as you know it. Respawn Entertainment really pushed the limits of what Source can do for Apex Legends. It's like they took an old car and put in a new engine, better suspension... the works.
