APEX LEGENDS UPDATE 01/27/2026
[p]We recently resolved an issue that affected a small number of Apex Legends accounts after it was brought to our attention by a third party. We reviewed the information, took action, and our response process worked as intended.
[/p][p]The issue involved how certain authentication tokens were being validated on our servers, which allowed some active game sessions to be disrupted for targeted players. As a result, affected players were disconnected from matches and experienced temporary in-game session interruptions.
[/p][p]Once identified, our security and engineering teams immediately began an investigation. Input from an external source helped us more quickly identify the root cause, and the issue was fully resolved within six hours. The fix closed the exploit and prevented any further impact. The issue is now fully mitigated, and there is no ongoing risk to players. No account passwords, personal information, or other personally identifiable information (PII) were accessed or exposed at any time.
[/p][p]We take uninterrupted gameplay extremely seriously. Protecting player trust and fair competition is a top priority for Apex Legends. As always, our teams remain focused on strengthening our validation and monitoring processes. We also want to emphasize that we welcome responsible disclosures from members of the community and will work constructively with those who share information in good faith. These partnerships help us identify and resolve issues faster, and ultimately make the game more fun for everyone. [/p][p]
