More Apex Legends Cheaters Banned

That noise you hear is thousands of banned cheaters crying in the distance.

While we can’t share details on what we’re doing so as to not give a head’s up to the cheat makers, what we can say is that we’re attacking this from every angle, from improvements to detecting cheaters, bolstering resources and tools, to improving processes and other sneaky things to combat sellers and cheaters. We can share some high level stats of progress that’s been made: 

  • The recently added in-game reporting tool has had a big impact on discovering new cheats, including previously undetectable cheats that are now being found automatically via EAC 
  • Total bans are now at 770K players 
  • We have blocked over 300K account creations 
  • We have banned over 4,000 cheat seller accounts (spammers) in the last 20 days 
  • Total affected matches on PC impacted by cheaters or spammers has been reduced by over half in the last month due to recent efforts
