It’s been a tough week for Respawn Entertainment, as Apex Legends was the victim of a massive cyberattack.
The attacker somehow managed to break into Apex Legends and write a plea to save Titanfall from cheaters. Despite how weird it sounds, cheaters are literally hacking their way into Apex Legends to tell Respawn to fix the Titanfall games from other hackers.
In the cyberattack, the global Apex Legends servers were affected. Consequently, players all over the world were locked out of the game and couldn’t enter any matches. This cyber attack at Respawn came just on the heels of the pro-Apex Legends community banding together for a plea to Respawn to “#SaveApexRanked” as cheaters were causing havoc in the ranked mode.
After a valiant effort from the developers at Respawn, they finally managed to come up with a fix for this issue. Players were finally able to enter matchmaking in Apex Legends once again.
