Respawn has added Steam Networking code to Apex Legends in the Awakening patch that will aid to mitigate DDoS attacks and improve connectivity for players.

Now Apex is connected to the network, it’ll be interesting to see how much of an impact it’ll have on the rampant DDoSing that occurs at the high tiers of Ranked.

If it’s effective, it’s guaranteed to enhance the competitive experience, especially for those who put in the effort to reach Diamond, Masters, and Predator.

Overall, this is a huge step in the right direction, so let’s just hope Respawn continues to improve Apex’s defense against cheaters and hackers.
