Apex Legends ranked has been turned off today after a strange competitive glitch that reset everyone’s standings in the season just days after the new split began.
Across the battle royale, Apex players immediately began reporting they’d lost their ranks after logging in on Monday, Aug. 12. The in-game messaging suggested the ranked split had been “reset”—a wipe obviously not meant to happen for more than a month. Unsurprisingly, the game-wide reset sparked panic across the community.
Within hours, Respawn responded, confirming today’s Apex ranked reset was totally unplanned (and unwanted). The developers are now looking into a way to “restore ranks and Ranked Points for all players” and until they’ve cracked the code behind this nasty competitive glitch, the Apex team has taken ranked offline. There’s no real timeline for its return beyond whenever the fix is ready to deploy.
“We’ll let you know as soon as it’s ready,” the Apex devs promised in a post on X (formerly Twitter), “but in the meantime, ranked will remain unavailable for affected accounts to prevent them from losing further progress.”
