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

Respawn Entertainment unveils upcoming Apex Legends updates focused on fair play and improved matchmaking. The studio's recent video highlighted key changes to both systems.

Matchmaking improvements 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 developers are actively combating team collusion, already seeing a reduction thanks to implemented algorithms. A new penalty notification system will inform players of actions taken against reported accounts. The fight against bots continues, with a machine learning model in development to detect and prevent bot creation.

Respawn emphasizes ongoing communication with the community. Their commitment is to maintain Apex Legends as a fun and competitive experience while upholding game integrity.
