MAP CHANGE

🛠️ADJUSTED:

Apex Legends: Cipher is here! It’s bringing new features, new weapon combos, and big changes to Ranked alongside the usual slew of bug fixes and balancing passes. Read on for info about the Akimbo Wingman, Strongholds, new Ranked features and more! Season 31 begins on November 3rd, so get the squad together and get ready to jump into Apex Legends: Cipher!

✅FIXED:

AMD has rolled out a new mainline driver update that resolves crashes for players with 9070 series GPUs in Apex.

📋TESTING: We have activated a matchmaking test that increases maximum queue times for Plat+ players on all platforms, in all regions. The queue time increase scales with Rank tier, and Masters players could expect a maximum extension of approximately 30 seconds.

UPDATE:

FIXED: Resolved an issue impacting Steam users that resulted in settings being reset after every relaunch of the game. This was largely impacting players with unique folder structures and Apex installation locations, most commonly seen in APAC.

Hello! We just pushed an update for the following:

UPDATE: As we work to transition all PC players from Easy Anticheat to EA Javelin Anticheat, if you are encountering issues matchmaking into a round (including "Party Not Ready" error messages), we recommend switching your launcher to Steam for a smoother game experience. We are actively investigating these issue and hope to have a resolution soon.

REMINDER: Last week, in response to player feedback, we brought back the Core Wildcard mode alongside Apex KO. As a reminder, you should expect slightly longer queue times for either mode, with the higher skilled lobbies being most impacted. The highest successful queue times we're seeing is around 2.5-3.5 minutes. Know before you go!

⚠️INVESTIGATING:

In response to community feedback, we're making a couple of adjustments to the Street Fighter 6 collab Wildcard event.

Split 2 starts on September 15th, so assemble your squad and get ready to jump back into Marked!
