Don’t worry, Apex Legends players, Respawn’s putting out some updates to keep you safe after the ALGS hacks

If you’ve been worried that you might be at risk of being hacked during your regular Apex Legends matches after some pro players suddenly found themselves cheating during a recent ALGS event, there’s now some good news. Respawn says it’s putting out a series of updates to the game designed to help keep people safe.

Yup, following the postponement of the North American finals of the Apex Legends Global Series due to some participants being given aimbots and the ability to see through walls, we’ve all been waiting for the game’s developers to address what that might mean for the rest of us. After both Epic Games and the company behind the game’s anti-cheat software shot down one theory as to the cause of the hacks following their own investigations, that answer’s now arrived from Respawn.

In a statement posted to Twitter, Respawn has provided an update from the Apex team. “On Sunday, a few professional Apex Legends player accounts were hacked during an ALGS event,” it confirms, continuing: “Game and player security are our highest priorities, which is why we paused the competition to address the issue immediately.”
