AMD has rolled out a new mainline driver update that resolves crashes for players with 9070 series GPUs in Apex. https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/release-notes/RN-RAD-WIN-26-10-1.htmlPlease ensure you are on the latest version!
Read full update on Steam ↗Competitive Integrity Update - Weapon Exploit FixesWe’ve deployed fixes for multiple high-profile weapon exploits in Apex Legends this week. You may have seen the videos circulating in community spaces earlier this week. These fixes address an exploit that allowed an entire magazine to be fired in a single shot, alongside another that enabled rapid firing and reloading with the Sentinel and C.A.R. SMG beyond their intended functionality.These fixes are part of our broader efforts to protect the integrity of Apex Legends. Alongside addressing exploits, we continue to develop and deploy new anti-cheat detections, strengthen existing systems, and take action against players who undermine fair play. This work is ongoing across multiple fronts, even when individual efforts aren't always immediately visible.
Read full update on Steam ↗📋TESTING: We have activated a matchmaking test that increases maximum queue times for Plat+ players on all platforms, in all regions. The queue time increase scales with Rank tier, and Masters players could expect a maximum extension of approximately 30 seconds.This test is in pursuit of tighter skill bands in high skill matches and less spill over of high rank players into mid-rank matches, as the matchmaker spends more time prioritizing the tightest possible lobbies before expanding its search. This test will run until the end of the season, or until we have enough data.Please continue to give feedback on if you are experiencing tighter matchmaking.
Read full update on Steam ↗First week of EA Javelin AnticheatSince the transition to EA Javelin Anticheat, we’ve continued to monitor, identify, and disrupt cheating across Apex Legends. The move to Javelin gives our Anti-Cheat team greater visibility into threats and more flexibility to respond as new cheats emerge.We wanted to share an update on what we’ve seen since the transition, including the volume of cheat attempts prevented, enforcement actions taken, and the types of cheating we’ve disrupted. Before diving into the numbers, we should discuss cheat prevention. In the first week following the launch of Javelin Anti-Cheat, 265,550 cheating attempts have been prevented before they could impact gameplay.This is an important distinction when looking at anti-cheat numbers. Javelin is designed not only to identify and action cheaters, but to prevent unauthorized software and cheating attempts from functioning...
Read full update on Steam ↗UPDATE: TESTING:Following early data showing promising impacts to queue times and tighter match skill-widths, we will be expanding this test to Wildcard matchmaking as well. This text expansion will be live at 10am PT, on October 16th and will impact players on all platforms in US-West.TESTING:Starting tomorrow, October 7th at approximately 10am PT, we will be conducting a matchmaking test by enabling cross-play as the default option for all players, on all platforms in the US-West servers. The intention of this test is to shorten queue times and tighten matchmaking skill bands. This test will run until the season ends on November 3rd. Console players can opt out of the test by turning off cross-play in your settings menu.FIXED: Fixed an issue with missing floor geo on Broken Moon in Terraformer; players are no longer able to clip into the ground.Fixed an issue with Gibraltar skydive...

Read full update on Steam ↗Competitive Integrity Update - Ballistic Exploit CrashOur Anti-Cheat team recently identified an exploit being used to disrupt matches by intentionally crashing game servers. After thoroughly investigating the suspected perpetrator, we have delivered a permanent account ban, and implemented a fix to the exploit.While investigating a suspected player who appeared to be repeatedly causing lobbies to crash, we identified an exploit involving Ballistic’s Sling passive. The exploit used a modified game client to duplicate a weapon optic far beyond its intended limits. Generating enough duplicated items placed an excessive load on the server, causing the match to become unresponsive and ultimately crash for everyone in the lobby.The player would then reconnect to the match after the crash and attempt to take advantage of other players being disconnected.Once identified, we worked to underst...
Read full update on Steam ↗UPDATE: As we work to transition all PC players from Easy Anticheat to EA Javelin Anticheat, if you are encountering issues matchmaking into a round (including "Party Not Ready" error messages), we recommend switching your launcher to Steam for a smoother game experience. We are actively investigating these issue and hope to have a resolution soon.REMINDER: EA Javelin Anticheat is now live in Apex Legends on PC! Please update your game before hopping into your next match. We are aware of errors for some players as they transition between systems.

Read full update on Steam ↗REMINDER:Last week, in response to player feedback, we brought back the Core Wildcard mode alongside Apex KO. As a reminder, you should expect slightly longer queue times for either mode, with the higher skilled lobbies being most impacted. The highest successful queue times we're seeing is around 2.5-3.5 minutes. Know before you go!

This investigation identified accounts being accessed from multiple distinct devices in a manner consistent with account sharing, specifically targeting console users.As a result, we have handed 258 Predator players 60-day suspensions across PlayStation and Xbox.Enforcement BreakdownPlayStation — 115 players92 players were found to be frequently sharing their accounts2 players were found to be sharing their accounts across 5+ devices21 players frequently shared & sha...

Read full update on Steam ↗✅FIXED: Banners will no longer appear in Wildcard death boxes.💡KNOWN ISSUE: Our team is aware of a bug causing the mirrored presentation of "SKIPPY" on the Mythic Alternator skin. While we are selective about which weapons receive this level of granular detail due to the complexity of texturing and weapon variations, the mirrored text was not intended in this specific case. The team is actively working on a fix and hopes to have it resolved soon. We'll circle back with an update once the issue has been addressed.
Read full update on Steam ↗Cheating has consequences beyond a single account. Since the end of April, we have executed nearly 6,000 hardware bans across PC and console. While the majority of those bans impacted players on PC, we are actively increasing our utilization of hardware bans on consoles. Hardware bans are one of many tools in our Anti-Cheat Team’s toolbelt and allow us to target systems designed to evade enforcement. Our tools identify repeat offenders and ensure that they will be unable to access Apex Legends, even if they spin up new accounts.We occasionally see the community requesting hardware bans as a more permanent punishment for cheaters, and we wanted to provide more transparency into the matter - hardware bans are happening (and they’re represented in our ban number comms) and we are planning to utilize them even more, especially on consoles.So, “why isn’t every ban worthy of a hardware ban?...
Read full update on Steam ↗Effective immediately, the use of “jitter aim” and/or RC filters to exploit aim assist systems and negate recoil on controllers is unequivocally considered cheating. We are taking a firm stance against players using these cheats and are taking action to stop them.Apex Legends is now equipped with the necessary in-game detections to identify and disable these exploits. Players who are caught attempting to use hardware or software to alter aim assist or recoil patterns will be flagged as cheaters and have their accounts banned in accordance with our TOS.We are implementing this crackdown at a crucial time, to support fair play at EWC Paris, in addition to maintaining competitive integrity across Apex Legends. While we are implementing this solution to combat the issue, we have alternate anti-cheat approaches we can pivot to should we need them. We will continue to monitor the situation...

We are making this change to align with community desires and may test variations in rotation timing in future, all in pursuit of finding what players enjoy most.BOT ROYALE EVOLVED:- We have reduced Bot Royale Evolved lobbies to contain only one player squad with broad teammate matchmaking bands.- Since Bot Royale evolved we've seen frustration around two prominent pain points: long queue times, and wide skill disparity between squads - both stemming from the 1-5 team lobby parameter. This change should allow players to get into matches much quicker and with less frustration towards your opponents. As such, Bot Royale Evolved should better align with its design intention of being a mode for...

We have a fix gradually rolling out and expect the issue to be fully resolved by the end of the day.- Map rotations have been erroneously reset to 24 hours. This issue will be resolved when the current 24 hour map rotation window expires. Maps will then rotate on 4.5 hour cycles again. ⚠️ INVESTIGATING: - We are looking into new issues with FPS drops. We've seen player reports that disabling Hyperthreading and updating to the newest drivers helps alleviate the issue.

We have also been working hard behind the scenes to eradicate less conventional hacks. This season, we implemented detection for a reverse speed hack, preventing cheaters from freezing themselves mid-air for long stretches of time. Additionally, we identified and resolved numerous exploits that could be used to take down servers. Combatting cheaters is a constant cat and mouse game, as s...

Read full update on Steam ↗Over the past several months, the Anti-Cheat Team team has been developing, testing, and validating a *new* detection system which resulted in identifying and removing 1,000 accounts for using unauthorized software/gameplay enhancements, in its first week alone! These bans also targeted Xim and Titan users, expanding our protection against those cheating devices. This detection tool was deployed to the live game after extensive verification to ensure a high degree of accuracy. The 1,000 account marker was hit while being quite conservative with enforcement so we expect this number to grow significantly in the coming weeks as we expand its reach and tune it accordingly. Additionally, we executed a highly focused and targeted ban wave of the top 100 positions on leaderboards for each platform.

Read full update on Steam ↗Hi all, after a brief delay, we have started the following matchmaking test:Players can only join premade squads containing squadmates with a differential of ONE Ranked tier (down from two).As a reminder, we are looking to create tighter lobbies; our expectation is that, by limiting players from creating squads with wide skill bands, you will more consistently match against similar-skilled opponents, creating a more fair, competitive experience.The test will run until the end of the split (June 23rd).

Read full update on Steam ↗ADJUSTED:We are implementing 4.5 hour map rotations in Ranked for all regions!After testing 4.5 hour rotations in our East Asia servers late in Season 28, we believe implementing this cadence in all servers will have a positive impact on the playerbase by enabling more map variety. This means players can engage on their favourite maps more often, or feel less “trapped” on their least favourite maps.During the initial test we saw positive player sentiment regarding the opportunity to potentially play on multiple maps in a single play session and we’re excited to provide this opportunity to all regions.This is a permanent change, though we may continue to test slight variances in rotation duration to pinpoint the most optimal timelines!

Read full update on Steam ↗We know our community experienced some server issues last week. Thank you to everyone who took the time to send in reports to us. To show our appreciation for your continued patience, everyone has been granted 1 Epic Apex Pack (please login within 2 weeks to claim it).We wanted to share a quick recap of the recent server outages and what we have learned from them.Two separate instances caused our servers to go down last week. One was due to rotating out Storm Point (due to persistent crashes for specific devices on that map) and replacing it with E-District. The initial swap ran into some issues, and then later on, as servers continued to try to incorrectly search for games on Storm Point, it caused players to no longer be able to get into games. We’ve now implemented a new internal process to avoid this mismatch in the future. The other cause of servers going down was due to a prior...
