Apex Legends season four officially launched today and Respawn published the latest set of patch notes, which talk about matchmaking improvements.
A hot topic within the Apex community was the debate behind Respawn’s decision to include skill-based matchmaking despite having a dedicated Ranked mode. The patch notes for season four confirmed that SBMM has been in Apex since the game was launched in 2019.
To help make matchmaking a smoother experience for players around the globe, the season four patch included region-specific updates. The patch notes didn’t specify what changes were implemented or what regions were given an update, however.
