Fixes to matchmaking and anti-cheat: Apex Legends devs shared future plans

Respawn Entertainment has unveiled exciting updates for Apex Legends, focusing on fair play and improved matchmaking. The upcoming changes address player behavior and matchmaking systems, promising a more balanced and enjoyable experience.

Matchmaking will see significant improvements, including the introduction of visible skill levels in non-ranked matches to better match players of similar abilities. Expect adjustments to queue times to reduce waiting periods. Respawn is also actively addressing concerns surrounding score calculation and pre-made squad restrictions in ranked matches.

On the anti-cheat front, Respawn is intensifying its efforts against team collusion, reporting a decrease in incidents thanks to newly implemented algorithms. A new penalty notification system will keep players informed of actions taken against reported accounts. Furthermore, the fight against bots continues with the development of a sophisticated machine learning model designed to detect and prevent bot creation.

Respawn Entertainment remains committed to open communication with the Apex Legends community. Their ultimate goal is to maintain a fun and competitive environment while upholding the game's integrity.
