Apex Legends' regional finals have been disrupted by multiple players being hacked mid-game, leading one expert to warn against playing other EA-published games until the situation is resolved.
The Apex Legends regional finals took place last weekend, but things didn't go according to plan. Seen just below, two pro players—Genburten and ImperialHal—were hacked right in the middle of the regional finals. The former was able to see players through walls and terrain, and the latter was gifted an aimbot by the hacker themselves.

"I can see everyone!" Genburten says in the clip above before quitting the match. "I have aimbot right now!" ImperialHal realizes in the other clip above. The pro says he couldn't shoot, and while he attempted to play out the rest of the round, the match was later abandoned.
It's unclear who's responsible for hacking the two pro Apex Legends players. A fair few claims are circulating online about who could be responsible for the hack, but at the time of writing, no one has stepped forward to claim responsibility.
The Anti-Cheat Police Department, just below, recommends that players steer clear of any EA-published games until the issue has been resolved. The account also recommends that no one plays games protected by the 'EAC' anti-cheat system.
PSA: There is currently an RCE exploit being abused in @PlayApex. It is unsure whether it comes from the game or the actual anti-cheat (@TeddyEAC ). I would advise against playing any games protected by EAC or any EA titles once they have fixed this or can comment.Currently,…March 18, 2024
The anti-cheat expert also suggests that those who were participating in the Apex Legends regional finals at the time secure their accounts by changing their passwords, including Discord and email accounts.
A few hours after this all went down, the official Apex Legends eSports body confirmed that the North American finals had been postponed. We don't currently know when the regional finals will return, but the organization's official Twitter account says it'll "share more information soon."
Due to the competitive integrity of this series being compromised, we have made the decision to postpone the NA finals at this time. We will share more information soon.March 18, 2024
Respawn on creating authentic representation in Apex Legends: "the constant evolution of the game actually helps us create meaningful characters."
AnApex Legends leaker has claimed that Season 21 will introduce a quads mode, akimbo weapons, and more. The major update for Apex Legends is expected to release on or around May 7.
Respawn Entertainment briefly had to take Apex Legends offline, because of issues with players losing their save progress.
Reports have surfaced within the Apex Legends community regarding unexpected account resets following the game's recent April Fools update. Respawn Entertainment promptly addressed this issue, assuring players of a swift resolution. However, the implemented solution inadvertently gave rise to additional Apex Legendsissues.
Mobile developer Midas Games has secured $1 million in funding in a pre-seed investment round led by Ludas Ventures.
Apex Legends is back with its customary April Fools update, adding the good old Mozambique variants alongside an exciting anti-gravity mechanic. Last year, the Apex Legends event featured a Mozambique that shot Nessies, along with six different versions of the gun, including the likes of Mozamblam and Mozambeam.
Overwatch 2 fans think that the upcoming Revenant skin in Apex Legends is allegedly ripping off the Cyber Demon Genji skin. Overwatch 2 features a wide range of skins for each hero, which show off unique designs that give them more personality.
Alter, a new Apex Legends character, has leaked online, along with new details about their abilities. It's common to see new characters join Apex Legends, but it's not every day that an upcoming character leaks months in advance, with Alter set to join the fight along with Season 21.
Apex Legends has revealed that Conduit, Bangalore, and Revenant are getting hit with some significant nerfs in an upcoming update. These changes to the popular Legends are coming as part of the recently revealed Shadow Society Event for Apex Legends, starting on March 26.
The hacker who disrupted the North American Apex Legends Global Series finals has said he did it «just for fun».
On Sunday, the world of video games was shaken by a hacking and cheating scandal.
Earlier this week, the Apex Legends North American finals were postponed after hackers handed out cheats to pro players mid-game. Respawn Entertainment has now confirmed that this is what happened, and in a new post on X, the company has promised a series of updates to bolster the game’s security.
EA has deployed what it called the first in a “layered series” of Apex Legends security updates amid growing concern about the safety of the battle royale.
