Actually, in my experience, it does. I turned it off and saw a noticeable improvement in my game's performance. Keep that Game Bar away for the best FPS!

Nope, it's all good. I've been running Apex with the Game Bar on and haven't noticed any FPS drops. Seems like it's more myth than reality.

It can, but only if your system is already on the edge of its performance capability. For most setups, it's a non-issue. If you're struggling with FPS, though, consider turning off background apps, including the Game Bar, to see if it helps.

Nah, the Xbox Game Bar itself shouldn't really impact your FPS in Apex Legends. It's designed to work smoothly with games. But, if your PC isn't exactly high-end, having it on could strain your system a bit, especially if you're recording or broadcasting. So, if you notice a drop in FPS, try turning it off and see if that helps.
