Anti-Cheat Update

In early October, a new detection model was introduced to help identify 3rd party bots in the game.

“In just two weeks, over 1,000 bot accounts were banned. We saw a majority of bans hit Windows PC (71%) and Switch (21%). Detected bot infection rates spiked after the rollout as expected — meaning the new tech is successfully identifying bots — then tapered off as we banned these accounts.”

This update is part of ongoing efforts to maintain fair play in Apex Legends.
