Is Ranked Play coming to Apex Legends? While the release of Apex Legends has been a resounding success thus far, there\u2019s still one feature that many players have been asking about: Ranked Play. Respawn released Apex Legends on February 4 and saw over a million unique players dive in over the first eight hours of availability. After a week, this number had risen to 25 million. Players of all breeds \u2013 both casual and competitive \u2013 have been getting their fill over the last few days, and a supposed \u2018leak\u2019 appeared to have good news for more \u2018competitive\u2019 players. Data miners found two lines of code in the Apex Legends game files, which immediately sparked rumors that a \u2018ranked\u2019 playlist was coming According to a screenshot courtesy of @StoutFN_ on Twitter, the code in question read \u201crankedplay_display_enabled \u20180\u2019\u201d and \u201crankeplay_voice_enabled \u20180.\u2019\u201d However, this leak was quickly shut down. Reddit user u\/ralopd, a moderator on the official Apex Legends subreddit, explained that this game file is just leftover code from Titanfall 2. Any sort of competitive mode in Fortnite has been one of the most requested features since the battle royale mode launched in September of 2017, but it still hasn\u2019t been added in. GamingINTEL claimed to have found more Apex Legends game files which hint at some form of \u2018league\u2019 system. This leak is highly dubious, as there is nothing to verify that they are in fact genuine game files from Apex Legends \u2013 so take this with a very large pinch of salt. Should Apex Legends get a ranked mode despite being in its infancy as compared to Fortnite, it would be another massive win for the newest entrant to the battle royale scene. Given that Apex Legends already has plans of going cross-platform sooner rather than later, it\u2019s quite possible that a new king of battle royales is blooming right in front of our eyes. Time will tell if Apex Legends can sustain this early boom in popularity, but it\u2019s abundantly clear that Fortnite\u2019s place atop the market isn\u2019t as stable as it was just a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
