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 (SBMM) indicators in casual matches, alongside adjustments to reduce queue times. The developers are also actively addressing issues related to scoring calculations and restrictions on pre-made squads in ranked play.
On the anti-cheat front, Respawn is intensifying its efforts against team collusion, reporting a reduction in such incidents thanks to improved algorithms. A new penalty notification system will inform players of actions taken against reported accounts. Furthermore, the ongoing battle against bots continues, with a new machine learning model in 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 game integrity.
