Widely reported by players on social media was that Apex Legends' servers had suffered a hacking attack that rendered the game unplayable and instead replaced the server's playlist with messages about Respawn's previous title in the series, Titanfall The game was then replaced by a message about Respawn's previous series, Titanfall." SAVETITANFALL.COM, TF1 is under attack and so is Apex." The message was displayed. Players also received an "important message" pop-up after the match that read, "Please go to savetitanfall.com and resubmit."

The "savetitanfall.com" website contains a message stating that the site and the Discord server listed on it "has nothing to do with the recent Apex Legends hack."

Players who saw the hack were unable to queue in any game mode other than the hacked one and were shown the message; PC Gamer was able to find examples of the hack in both the PC and PS4 lobbies.

The savetitanfall.com website, which has been up for several months, is meant to draw attention to Titanfall, a game that has been generally unplayable for the last few years due to a plague of hackers taking down servers and spamming lobbies started with bots The game is a multiplayer-only game. Because Titanfall is a multiplayer-only game, this still widely marketed game remains generally unplayable. Over the past few months, weeks of uptime have appeared from time to time, especially after promises by Respawn that "help is on the way."

Despite that promise, the servers are still regularly down; according to members of the Titanfall Remnant Fleet community, the game servers have been down regularly since 2018, rendering the game unplayable for weeks at a time. Steam forums have been flooded with posts about the game being unplayable, but the outages began long before "Titanfall" appeared on Steam late last year.

After this article first appeared, Respawn tweeted that it was looking into the issue and released a server update that it said fixed the problem; Respawn also said that "this attack, while disruptive, does not compromise players' personal information or accounts."

Apex stated.

This is not the first hacking issue to hit Apex Legends. Earlier this year, Respawn promised to address these hacking and DDoS attack issues as well.

In May, Ryan K. Rigney, director of communications for Respawn Entertainment, tweeted about the frustrations of dealing with these hackers. Rigney said it would take "weeks of work" to deal with the new exploits.

PC Gamer contacted EA and Respawn about the status of Apex Legends.
