Respawn Entertainment unveils upcoming Apex Legends updates in a new video. The focus is on improving matchmaking and strengthening fair play initiatives, targeting not only cheaters but also unfair gameplay tactics. Significant changes are planned for both areas.
Matchmaking improvements include visible skill ratings in unranked modes and optimized queue times. Respawn is also addressing concerns surrounding 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 decrease in incidents thanks to implemented algorithms. A new penalty notification system for reported players is in development, alongside ongoing efforts to eliminate bots. A machine learning model is being created to detect and prevent bot proliferation.
Respawn reaffirms its commitment to community engagement, aiming to maintain Apex Legends as a fun and competitive experience while upholding its integrity.
