Face Off in the Future Icons Event

by respawn_bean

Attention, Legends! It may be summer in the Outlands, but class is still in session. Our mid-season update brings with it the Future Icons Event, running from June 24-July 15, 2025. Take on a new variant of a favorite, Arenas: Duels, featuring 1v1s with no abilities, no heals, and no excuses. Unlock smart new Legendary Legend Skins, Epic Weapon skins, and Wattson’s “Apex Icon” Prestige Skin with matching Dive Trail via Future Icons Event Packs. Speaking of our scholarly Paquette, she’s recharged for split two with buffs worthy of her power: faster fence building, electrifying doors, and slowing enemies (including a particularly pesky prodigy). We also gave Echo’s mom some love too—Vantage mains rejoice! Both Wattson and Vantage will be unlocked for the duration of the event so everyone has a chance to try them out. Time to target greatness and rise to the challenge.ARENAS: DUELSTest your mettle in a new limited-time Arenas variant: Duels. Chain 1v1 duels throughout a 5-minute match on ...

Apex Legends: Anti-cheat Update 2025/06/19

by rspnthieamy

We recently rolled out new detections to better identify players using Direct Memory Access devices for the purpose of cheating and have banned 1300+ accounts that were doing so. We’ve also investigated recent complaints about improper bans on social media and are confident that these accounts were cheating. As a reminder, we have a zero-tolerance policy for threats and harassment against our developers. We will take action against both in-game and out-of-game behaviour as necessary to protect the health and safety of our teams. Please review our Rules of Conduct and the Positive Play Charter which has additional information on acceptable behavior. If you would like to appeal an in-game ban or suspension, please do so through the appropriate channels at help.ea.com.

Apex Legends™: Game Reliability Update 2025/06/17

by respawn_bean

We’re continuing our regular Dev updates with a topic that we know is a big one: game reliability. Every match should be great and any interruption can impact your experience, which is why reliability (and stability as a part of that) is a main focus this year alongside other elements that we’ve chatted about previously. If you’re a regular on PlayApex socials, reddit, or even Steam, then you may already know a bit about some of the topics we’re going to cover. Here’s a quick TLDR of what we’re covering in today’s dev update:Amazon GameLift ServersWe moved to GameLift servers back in April.Noticeable improvements in CPU performance, reduced rubber banding, and better hit registration.Fast Patch: we’ve developed a new system that allows us to deploy client patches as quickly as the same day compared to the old method that took a longer, and often variable, amount of time.Continuous ImprovementsCode review overhaul has resulted in fewer boots to the lobby and server errors.Memory managem...

Apex Legends Anti-Cheat Update: June 3, 2025

by respawn_bean

In keeping with our promise of more regular updates, today we’re sharing some more details around our anti-cheat efforts and the impact they’ve had since our last check-in. TLDR: we’re seeing a continued decrease in infection rate and we’re working on lowering it even further. Anti-Cheat remains a top priority. Trends over the past three seasons and additional insights regarding our efforts show that there’s been a positive impact against those who take part in unfair play. The included graphs report two metrics: Match Infection Rate: percentage of Ranked BR matches with detected cheaters. Multi-reported Users: percentage of weekly players reported for cheating at least 3 times in the past 28 days. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38098458/a9288402022a6fc20aafea78206178f4970da971.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38098458/dbd7c35dbff50a2b7ec04512216448a5a28eea4e.jpg These metrics adjust for fluctuations in player numbers by normalizing by match and player counts respectively.

Apex Legends™: Prodigy Patch Notes

by respawn_bean

ANTI-CHEAT Before we jump into the seasonal updates, here’s a quick progress check-in on anti-cheat. We’ve been focusing on many iterative improvements across an array of efforts including internal cheat detection, automated detections, and third party solutions. Our ongoing work against teaming has continued to have a positive impact on bad behaviour, primarily in Ranked. We’ve also ramped up efforts combating bot activity performed by automating certain devices, and a decrease in nefarious bot activity should already be noticeable in your matches by the time you read this. This population may be small, but their actions can still disrupt your time in the Outlands and we’re continuing to target actions against these players to ensure that every match is worthwhile. There’ve also been a plethora of improvements that we’re looking to actively update ranging from bug/exploit fixes to hardening existing prevention measures; we hope to share more on these in the future. Finally, we wanted ...

New Updates Coming with Apex Legends™: Sparrow

by respawn_bean

SPARROW: PRODIGY A seriously skilled, but rarely serious archer enters the Outlands. THE MAN, HIS LEGEND Enea Davide Guarino was born into the most respected bounty hunter clan in the Outlands, the Clessidra Rossa, known for their unparalleled archery skills and dogmatic moral code. Enea was a promising successor for the head of the order, but he refused to see the world in Clessidra Rossa’s binary terms, and as he got older his family grew concerned over his resistance to their views. Being raised by such a tightly-wound group made him restless, often leading him to make reckless decisions. One particular choice created a rift between him and his family, and it became clear they would never see eye to eye. Enea was shunned from his family and the Clessidra Rossa. Enea is heartbroken about leaving his family, but is determined to figure out how to have it all—both a life on his own terms and his family’s acceptance. While bounty hunting on his own to support himself, he’s unexpectedly ...
