What's New in Apex Drift
2.3
October 12, 2026
This one is under the hood. v2.2 made the game fairer to play; v2.3 makes it behave. FIXED - Nanoshield was making you weaker. Picking it dropped your shield capacity instead of raising it. It now adds capacity, the way it always said it did. - Clearing a God Tier rush no longer throws away the run. Winning it awarded nothing while dying in it banked everything — the XP and tokens you earned are now credited either way. - Continuing a saved run is crash-safe again. If the game was killed between resuming and reaching the next stage, the restored run could be lost entirely. It is now saved the moment you continue. - A resumed run flies the ship it was saved with. Changing ship in the Hangar mid-campaign no longer swaps your in-progress run onto a different hull with mismatched health. - Retrying after a campaign clear restores your retry budget. - Double-tapping RETRY, LEADERBOARD or HOME can no longer leave a run in a confused state. - Weapon mod slots from your previous run no longer linger on screen at the start of a new one. FAIRER LEADERBOARDS iPad players had up to 63% more room to dodge than iPhone players, on the same leaderboard. The play area is now identical on every device. ALSO - A new animated title sequence on launch. - The leaderboard now tells you when it can't reach Game Center, instead of pretending nobody has played. - Tap the "?" on the main menu to replay the how-to-play tour.
