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

Respawn Entertainment unveils upcoming Apex Legends updates in a new video. The video highlights significant improvements to matchmaking and anti-cheat measures, addressing concerns beyond just combating cheaters.

Matchmaking changes include visible skill ratings in unranked modes and optimized queue times. The developers are also actively addressing issues surrounding score calculations and restrictions on pre-made squads in ranked play.

On the anti-cheat front, Respawn is focusing on reducing team collusion, already seeing a decline thanks to implemented algorithms. A new penalty notification system is in development to inform players of actions taken against reported accounts. The ongoing battle against bots continues, with a machine learning model under development to both detect and prevent bot creation.

Respawn reiterates its commitment to community engagement. The studio aims to maintain a fair and enjoyable competitive experience while upholding the game's integrity.
