A Respawn developer has revealed that Apex Legends skill-based matchmaking changes will be arriving in either late December 2022 or early in the New Year.

In a Twitter exchange with pro players Zach 'Zach' Mazer of Cloud9 and Eric 'Snip3down' Wrona of FaZe Clan, Respawn's technical director Sammy Duc acknowledges the current frustrations with the matchmaking system that have been widely criticised by those trying to climb the Apex Legends ranks. He says that right now, team-based SBMM takes into account the top-ranked player in a squad, rather than an average, but says that there will be a "surprise" for players in the coming weeks.

"SBMM will change, for the moment it is based on the highest player in the group and it will most likely mutate to something else (surprise surprise) mid December / New Year," says Duc in a tweet spotted by Alpha Intel. "We will communicate more in the New Year about this, but I hope it will allow [it] to work for you and [your] wife," he adds, referring to Snip3down's previous comment about how he would struggle to play Apex alongside his partner due to their different skill ratings.
