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

Respawn Entertainment has unveiled plans for significant Apex Legends updates, focusing on fairer gameplay and improved matchmaking. The upcoming changes address several key areas, as detailed in a recent developer video.

Matchmaking will see the introduction of skill ratings in unranked modes, alongside adjustments to reduce queue times. Respawn is also actively addressing concerns regarding score calculations and restrictions on pre-made squads in ranked play.

On the anti-cheat front, the developers are actively combating team collusion, reporting a reduction in such incidents due to implemented algorithms. A new penalty notification system is in development to inform players of actions taken against reported accounts. The ongoing battle against bots continues, with a machine learning model under development designed to detect and prevent bot proliferation.

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