Apex Legends ends two Ranked matchmaking tests

Apex Legends will not keep its one-tier Ranked party restriction or its high-skill solo-queue requirement. The announcement says additional Ranked changes informed by the tests are planned for Seasons 31 and 32, with details promised in October.

  • The one-tier party restriction, which limited teammates to within one tier rather than two, will not be made permanent.

  • The high-skill solo-queue experiment will not become a permanent requirement for Ranked lobbies.

  • The announcement says its largest follow-up changes are planned for Ranked Seasons 31 and 32.
