Apex Legends™ Patch Notes — May 19, 2026
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
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).
