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 changes to the matchmaking system and anti-cheat measures, addressing issues beyond just combating cheaters.

Matchmaking improvements include visible skill ratings in unranked modes and optimized queue times. Respawn is also actively addressing concerns regarding score calculations and limitations on pre-made squads in ranked play.

On the anti-cheat front, the focus is on tackling team collusion. Existing algorithms have already reduced such incidents, and a new penalty notification system for reported players is in development. The ongoing battle against bots continues, with a machine learning model being developed to detect and prevent bot proliferation.

Respawn emphasizes ongoing communication with the community. Their commitment is to maintain Apex Legends as a fair and enjoyable competitive experience, preserving the game's integrity.
