An Update from the Anti Cheat Team - 06/17/2026 Over the past several months, the Anti-Cheat Team team has been developing, testing, and validating a *new* detection system which resulted in identifying and removing 1,000 accounts for using unauthorized software/gameplay enhancements, in its first week alone! These bans also targeted Xim and Titan users, expanding our protection against those cheating devices. This detection tool was deployed to the live game after extensive verification to ensure a high degree of accuracy. The 1,000 account marker was hit while being quite conservative with enforcement so we expect this number to grow significantly in the coming weeks as we expand its reach and tune it accordingly. Additionally, we executed a highly focused and targeted ban wave of the top 100 positions on leaderboards for each platform. As a result, you may notice some high profile names missing from the leaderboards. The wave resulted in the following bans: Console - 79 PC - 7 This style of targeted integrity check is executed on a regular cadence as one of the many tools in our anti-cheat toolbelt. We are still hard at work on more controller cheating detections that we mentioned in previous posts. The system we are building is extensive, requires a substantial number of moving parts, and analysis of large amounts of match data. While it may feel like a slow process to some, we need to be as thorough as possible to provide reliable, accurate detections to reduce the risk of false positives while taking swift action against players who use these devices to cheat. This is not a one-time effort. We will continue monitoring, refining, and expanding our anti-cheat capabilities to stay ahead of emerging threats and help ensure a fair experience for all players. Thank you to everyone who continues to report suspicious behavior in pursuit of a healthier Apex Legends experience. We'll have more to share as we continue this work in the coming weeks.
