24/04/2023 Apex Legends' official website for Season 17 has revealed that "changes are coming to Ranked play". The copy of this article has been updated to reflect that.
The next update for Respawn Entertainment's battle royale is on the way and new Apex Legends leaks suggest a rather important change is coming to the way this FPS' ranked mode operates. We can't say for certain just yet, but a new Apex Legends leaker has suggested that Ranked Splits are going to be a thing of the past from Season 17 onwards - and it makes a lot of sense.
According to 'Apex Micro Leaks', it looks like Respawn Entertainment is going to completely remove Ranked Splits from the equation in Season 17. So, if you find yourself climbing Apex Legends ranks next season, you should find it one continuous uphill struggle.
We know this is a new source, so it should be taken with one or two rather large pinches of salt, but changes to Apex Legends' Ranked Splits is something fans have been calling for and it actually makes quite a lot of sense when you think about the Ranked changes Apex Legends has made prio - in Season 16.
