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

On the anti-cheat front, the developers are actively combating team collusion, already seeing a reduction thanks to implemented algorithms. A new penalty notification system is in development for reported players. Furthermore, efforts continue against bots, utilizing a machine learning model to detect and prevent their creation.

Respawn emphasizes ongoing communication with the community, aiming to maintain Apex Legends as a fun and competitive experience while upholding game integrity.
