Apex Update: Matchmaking and Anti-Cheat Improvements Announced

Respawn Entertainment unveils upcoming Apex Legends updates focusing on fair play and matchmaking improvements. The developer's video highlighted significant changes to both systems.

Matchmaking enhancements include visible skill ratings in unranked modes and optimized queue times. Respawn is also addressing concerns regarding score calculations and restrictions on pre-made squads in ranked play.

On the anti-cheat front, the focus is on combating team collusion, which has already seen a reduction thanks to implemented algorithms. A new penalty notification system for reported players is in development, alongside ongoing efforts to eliminate bots using a sophisticated machine learning model designed to detect and prevent bot creation.

Respawn Entertainment emphasizes ongoing communication with the community, aiming to maintain Apex Legends as a fun and competitive game while upholding its integrity.
