Apex Legends: Latest Update 4/14/2026

Hey all, we have made the following changes.FIXED:

• Catalyst's Toxic Empress skin now has the appropriate glow visual effects, in-match[/*]
• Valkyrie's jetpack handles are no longer missing in specific scenarios [/*]
• Fuse's Knuckle Cluster holder is now properly displayed[/*]
• Wattson players will no longer hear Hardlight rebuilding and being destroyed as a result of her tactical/ultimate placement in the ring[/*]
• Game stability improvements on the Switch 2[/*]

We are also making the following changes to matchmaking in an effort to provide the best possible match quality for players:ADJUSTED:

• We are increasing maximum queue times slightly for players at the higher end of Ranked and pubs. Our goal is tighter skill bands and more competitive games across the board.[/*]
• For Drop Zone Ranked matches, we will be displaying Ranked tier distribution charts of squads, not individual players consistent with non-Drop Zone lobbies.[/*]

TESTING:

• We are testing a 4 hour Ranked map rotation schedule in East Asia for the rest of the split. *We do not recommend changing servers as it will result in much higher pings.[/*]
