We wanted to give a quick update on teaming and share some additional insights about our continued efforts. Player numbers can fluctuate, so we look at the overall percentage of players reporting teaming. This chart displays a decrease in teaming reports over the past several months.

Teaming (when multiple teams collude during a match for a shared goal) concentrates in higher Ranked matches. Overall, there were less than 0.005 teaming reports per unique player in Feb 2025. The 65% drop from the peak shows that our efforts are having a positive impact in both teaming reports and instances that are automatically detected. There’s still work to do and we’ll continue to investigate new ways to address this issue for further noticeable improvements.

In a previous update, we shared that we were working on a new feature for reporting that would provide you with an update when your report has had an impact. We're happy to announce that this in-game notification system has gone live! Thanks for your ongoing support and all of your reports including those on teaming.

In Power Sword Royale, find and equip a Power Sword with its own specific abilities. In April Fools, have some fun with Mozambiques. Then, there’s Solos where it’s just you and your skill. Take the field as a Skirmisher and use two new perks — Trailblazer and Charged Knock — to dominate in the heat of the battle, and check out Alter’s latest ability updates.

Don't miss your chance to conquer creator community challenges together in week 1, then show off what makes you legendary in week 2! Unlock rewards like Apex Packs and the Legendary Bone Breaker Mastiff Weapon Skin.

Finally, unlock unstoppable cosmetics including Legendary Character Skins and the customizable Power Sword universal melee cosmetic.
