The Apex Legends anti-cheat team reports that 258 Predator players on PlayStation and Xbox received 60-day suspensions after sharing accounts across multiple devices to gain an unfair advantage on the Apex Predator leaderboard. The update was published on September 18, 2026.
How the suspensions are split
The announced total covers 115 PlayStation players and 143 Xbox players. On PlayStation, the team lists 92 players linked to frequent account sharing, 2 linked to sharing across five or more devices, and 21 included in both categories. The Xbox figures are 124, 2 and 17 respectively.
These categories overlap, so the subgroup figures should not be added together as separate blocks. The platform totals are the clearest measure of the 258 reported suspensions.
Apex LegendsAccount sharing also costs Ranked points
The anti-cheat team says account sharing is prohibited by the Apex Legends Terms of Service. Accounts identified as participating in the practice will be suspended, and the associated Ranked points will be removed.
That consequence matters beyond the temporary loss of access: the enforcement also targets the competitive progress attached to the accounts. The announcement specifically connects the action to attempts to gain an unfair advantage on the Apex Predator leaderboard.

The update also responds to community reports claiming that some recent enforcement actions were incorrect bans issued to players in Bot Royale. After reviewing the submitted cases and accounts, the anti-cheat team says those suspensions were valid.
The post does not provide individual case details, so its conclusion is presented as the result of the team’s review rather than a case-by-case explanation for readers.
More Ranked enforcement is planned
The anti-cheat team says it will continue monitoring Ranked play and taking action against account sharing or other forms of abuse. No schedule is given for future measures.
For the players covered by this announcement, the immediate outcome is a 60-day suspension and the removal of associated Ranked points. The broader message is that sharing access across devices can affect both account access and competitive progression.
