Apex Legends laid out a two-season Ranked overhaul. Season 31 adds Legend banning in Diamond and above plus lobby-based entry cost changes; Season 32 adds Iron, Emerald and Grandmaster ranks, Open and Pro-Am leagues, and new scoring.
For your guild
Ranked squads in Diamond and above should expect a pick-ban phase in Season 31 and rework Legend rosters so no single pick is required. Hold long-term rank goals until Season 32 rebalances RP and adds Emerald and Grandmaster.
Respawn restored the Core Wildcard mode alongside Apex KO last week and warns that queues in both run longer, worst in high-skill lobbies.
For your guild
A high-skill squad should expect a few minutes per queue in either mode, so pad scrim warm-ups accordingly.
From September 29, Apex Legends replaces Easy Anti-Cheat with EA's own Javelin anticheat on PC. Players download an update on launch and are migrated automatically. Unlike some EA titles, Apex will not require Secure Boot to be enabled.
For your guild
Tell PC members to expect a required update on September 29 and to leave extra time before a scheduled match that night. Anyone who has had trouble with kernel-level anticheat should check they can still launch after the switch.
A Street Fighter 6 crossover event drops into the Wildcard mode on a remixed Olympus. Players pick the fighting style of Ryu, Chun-Li, Akuma or Dhalsim, fill a Fight Gauge, then enter a stronger third-person Fighter Form.
For your guild
This is a limited event mode, not a balance change, so nothing about your ranked or scrim plans moves. It is a themed night a squad can drop into together while it is live.
