Read full update on Steam ↗We are implementing significant, new systems to detect players using unauthorized controller hardware or software in Apex Legends on all platforms including: PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch 2.We’ve spent the past several months thoroughly validating these systems to ensure they can accurately identify prohibited behavior.Players that trigger these detections will be actioned upon and banned accordingly.If you are using controller modifications, devices, or software to gain an unfair advantage, now is the time to stop. Playing on console does not make you exempt from detection or enforcement.This is just the beginning of these new systems which we will continue to improve to keep pace with evolving cheating methods.Additionally, we’ve continued to update and strengthen our existing anti-cheat systems this season, with new detections and enforcement targeting a range of cheat...

Read full update on Steam ↗✅FIXED:The mirrored text on Skippy's mythic Alternator skin has been fixed on all platforms except the Switch 2. The team will continue working to resolve this issue for Switch 2 users.
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...

Read full update on Steam ↗FIXED:After resolving issues causing error code:truck on Steam and EA App last week, we're happy to confirm that this error code has been fixed on all consoles as well. Thank you for your patience on this issue.ADJUSTED:SeerReduced the Home Base (Faster Tact Charge in Ult zone) Upgrade modifier to 2.5. This will make the Tactical cooldown 8 seconds instead of 5 while in the Ult zone.Moved Home Base Upgrade to level 3Moved Energizing Focus (Regen shield on tact hit) Upgrade to level 2Dev note: We have seen the frustrations surrounding Seer and are making urgent changes. The above changes are meant to reduce the frequency with which you'll encounter Seer's Tactical. At split start, the the most picked Upgrades (2 Tac charges / reduced Tac cooldown in Ult) saw ~90% and ~80% pick rates, respectively. When combined, players have access to 2 Tac charges on a very short cooldown. By moving b...

Read full update on Steam ↗Hey all, we just made a couple adjustments to our game modes based on community feedback.WILDCARD:- In response to community feedback, we are converting Wildcard map rotations to a 90 minute timer! 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...

Read full update on Steam ↗Hey all, busy start to Split 2. We're hard at work on the following.💡KNOWN ISSUES: - We are aware that some Ranked matches are starting with fewer than 60 players. 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.

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. As a result, you may notice some high profile names missing from the leaderboards. The wave re...

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...
