Respawn Entertainment, the studio behind Apex Legends, has announced the migration of their battle royale game`s servers to AWS Game Tech, a service provided by Amazon. According to the developers, this server transition has successfully reduced the frequency of technical issues experienced by players during matches.
In a statement, Respawn highlighted this move as a significant, long-term investment in the technology powering Apex Legends. By partnering with AWS Game Tech, they gain enhanced capabilities for identifying and resolving problems across different geographical regions. The ultimate goal is to provide players with a consistently more stable and reliable gaming experience over time.
The developers acknowledged that individual player connections are unique, and the impact of this change may vary. However, this server migration equips them with more powerful tools to investigate specific problem areas and implement improvements where possible.
Early indications of progress are promising. Respawn has observed a notable decrease in instances of server performance degradation, inaccurate hit registration, and the issue of player models being unexpectedly moved backward. Since the server migration, the number of matches affected by these problems has diminished. While these issues impacted a relatively small percentage of total matches previously, this improvement represents a significant step forward in overall game stability.
In related news, Electronic Arts and Respawn recently unveiled the ALGS: 2025 Open, a LAN tournament for Apex Legends. This event, scheduled for May 1-4 in New Orleans, USA, is set to be the largest in the discipline`s history, featuring a record-breaking 160 participating teams.
