Anti-Cheat Update
Building on efforts to eliminate cheating, a new detection model was launched in early October to identify possible third-party bots. Within two weeks, over 1,000 bot accounts were banned. Most bans targeted Windows PC users (71%) and Switch players (21%).
Detected bot infection rates spiked immediately after rollout, indicating effective identification, then declined as these accounts were removed.
This demonstrates the success of the new technology in maintaining fair play in Apex Legends.
