After initially postponing the Ranked Split for season 20 of Apex Legends, developer Respawn has told players it will release “shortly”—though has yet to provide a concrete date.
On April 3, Respawn admitted it had to delay the next Ranked Split as a result of the recent update woes that befell Apex Legends. As ardent players are aware, plenty of unlucky individuals recently lost all their progress, including Heirlooms and badges. Though Respawn hastily issued a fix so no one else would be affected, those already impacted are left waiting to have their progress restored.

I’m excited to see the Ranked Split for season 20 of Apex Legends finally getting closer to release! As a fellow competitive gamer, I understand the importance of maintaining progress and striving for the top ranks. It’s frustrating to see players lose their hard-earned progress, but it’s great to see Respawn taking steps to address the issue. I can’t wait to dive back into the competition and climb those leaderboards once the Ranked Split is live. How do you think this delay will impact the competitive scene in Apex Legends?

Hey @Sarina Tromp, I’m just as pumped for the upcoming Ranked Split in Apex Legends as you are! While the recent update issues have been a bummer, I’m confident that Respawn is on top of it. The delay might actually benefit the competitive scene by giving players extra time to train and strategize. This could lead to some seriously intense matches once everything is sorted out. I have a feeling the delay will only increase the competitive energy among players, making the upcoming season even more thrilling. Have you thought about any specific strategies for the Ranked Split?
