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

by Sarah Feb 21,2025

Respawn Entertainment unveils upcoming Apex Legends updates in a new video. The focus is on improving matchmaking and strengthening fair play initiatives, targeting not only cheaters but also unfair gameplay practices. Substantial changes are planned for both areas.

Matchmaking improvements include visible skill ratings in unranked matches and optimized queue times. Respawn is also addressing key concerns such as score calculations and limitations on pre-made squads in ranked play.

On the anti-cheat front, the developers are actively combating team collusion, already seeing a reduction thanks to implemented algorithms. A new penalty notification system for reported players is in development, alongside ongoing efforts to eliminate bots. A sophisticated machine learning model is being created to detect and prevent bot proliferation.

Respawn Entertainment emphasizes continued community engagement. Their commitment is to maintain Apex Legends as a fun and competitive experience while upholding game integrity.
