Respawn and EA have released a fresh anti-cheat report covering Seasons 23 through 25 of Apex Legends, revealing just how big the fight against cheaters has become. The report highlights account bans, Ranked infection rates, and upcoming tools being developed to strengthen detection.
Over 416,000 accounts banned
Since Season 23, a total of 416,533 accounts have been banned for cheating in Apex Legends. These bans include everything from aimbots and anti-recoil devices to bot farms farming matches for unfair progression.
Ranked infection rates
The report shows how Ranked match infection rates have shifted over the pastfew seasons:
- PC Ranked: started at 6.8% in Season 23, dipped as low as 6.1% at the start of Season 25, but has now risen again to 7.6%.
- Console Ranked: infection rates dropped slightly, moving from 0.3% down to 0.2%. While the numbers appear small, EA notes there are still more undetected cheaters on console than players may realize.
New detection models in development
Respawn confirmed they are building in-house detection models to better identify aimbots and anti-recoil devices. Bot farms have already been targeted, with new automated bot detection models currently in development to eliminate large-scale exploit accounts before they can affect matches.
This report shows that while progress has been made, cheating on PC continues to fluctuate and remains a persistent challenge. Respawn’s expanded detection tools will be critical in ensuring Ranked stays competitive across all platforms.
