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

Respawn Entertainment unveils upcoming Apex Legends updates in a new video, focusing on fair play and improved matchmaking. The video highlights significant changes to both systems.

Matchmaking improvements include visible skill ratings in unranked modes and optimized queue times. Respawn is also addressing concerns about 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 incidents thanks to algorithmic improvements. A new penalty notification system for reported players is in development. The ongoing battle against bots continues, with a machine learning model being developed to detect and prevent bot proliferation.

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