From Apex Legends

This season, Bloodhound evolves into the ultimate predator, World’s Edge shifts with new POIs, and Corrupted Attachments arm every squad for the hunt. The gods are watching, prove you deserve their favor.

The Hunter of Legends

Blessed by the Allfather, Bloodhound evolves from skilled tracker to lethal hunter. Follow the trail with an improved Passive, keep prey in sight with longer Tactical scans, and strike from the shadows with the new Allfather’s Cloak Ultimate.

Fresh Hunting Grounds

World’s Edge shifts, bringing new hunting grounds, old-god aesthetics, and aurora borealis glowing in the night sky. Stalk your prey through 3 new POIs: East Village and its massive Longhouse, the War Camp arena, and the towering Tree Settlement. Old favorites return too: Sorting Factory is back and Stacks re-emerges in Fragment.

The Weapon Chooses the Hunter

Your loadout walks the line between predator and prey. Corrupted Attachments introduce new late-game power with a real tradeoff, while visible weapon stats show exactly how each attachment changes your gun. Streamlined loot bins make looting faster and simpler: spend less time perfecting your loadout and more time using it.

The Pack Grows Stronger

Loba keeps the squad supplied with a faster Tactical and an improved Black Market, which now has a quicker cooldown and drops EVO Orbs. Rampart bolsters the defense, moving faster while firing Sheila and building tougher walls in less time.

Chosen by the Gods

A true weapon of the gods. The Allfather’s Fury Mythic CAR channels the power of the old gods, and has 5 customization tiers unlockable with Exotic Shards. Available as a possible drop in the Marked Seasonal Pack.

Claim Your Trophies

Go hunt with the Marked Premium Battle Pass. Earn Legendary skins for Bloodhound and Caustic, a Legendary Mozambique Weapon Skin, 10 Exotic Shards, and the Reactive R-301 at Tier 60.

Apex Legends: Latest Update - 06/23/2026

Changed 1
  • Executioner Hop-Up regenerates 50 shields over 5 seconds instead of 10 seconds
Fixed 2
  • Ranked matches starting with fewer than 60 players is being resolved with a gradual rollout
  • Map rotations are being corrected from 24 hours back to 4.5 hour cycles when the current rotation window expires

From Apex Legends

Hey all, busy start to Split 2. We're hard at work on the following.

💡KNOWN ISSUES:

  • We are aware that some Ranked matches are starting with fewer than 60 players. We have a fix gradually rolling out and expect the issue to be fully resolved by the end of the day.

  • Map rotations have been erroneously reset to 24 hours. This issue will be resolved when the current 24 hour map rotation window expires. Maps will then rotate on 4.5 hour cycles again.

⚠️ INVESTIGATING:

  • We are looking into new issues with FPS drops. We've seen player reports that disabling Hyperthreading and updating to the newest drivers helps alleviate the issue. This also could be the result of shader compiling and may self correct after a match or two.

  • We are investigating an issue where some players are unable to move after landing from a dropship.

🎯CORRECTION:

  • The new Executioner Hop-Up regenerates 50 shields over 5 seconds, not the initially communicated 10 seconds.

We'll be sure to communicate updates as we have them.

Matchmaking Test, Now Live

Changed 1
  • Players can now only join premade squads containing squadmates with a differential of one Ranked tier, down from two

From Apex Legends

Hi all, after a brief delay, we have started the following matchmaking test:

Players can only join premade squads containing squadmates with a differential of ONE Ranked tier (down from two).

As a reminder, we are looking to create tighter lobbies; our expectation is that, by limiting players from creating squads with wide skill bands, you will more consistently match against similar-skilled opponents, creating a more fair, competitive experience.

The test will run until the end of the split (June 23rd).
