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

Respawn Entertainment has unveiled plans for significant Apex Legends updates, focusing on fair play and matchmaking improvements. The upcoming changes address several key player concerns.

Matchmaking will see the introduction of skill-based matchmaking in casual modes, providing greater transparency and fairer matches. Expect adjustments to queue times as well. The developers are also actively addressing issues within the ranked system, including score calculations and restrictions on pre-made teams.

On the anti-cheat front, Respawn is actively combating team collusion, reporting a decrease in incidents thanks to improved algorithms. A new penalty notification system will inform players of actions taken against reported accounts. The ongoing battle against bots continues, with a new machine learning model in development to detect and prevent bot creation.

Respawn emphasizes its commitment to community feedback, aiming to maintain Apex Legends as a fun and competitive experience while upholding game integrity.
