Apex Legends Is Being Hacked By Hackers Who Are Frustrated With Titanfall Hackers

A group of hackers has begun hacking Apex Legends following frustration at the current hacking and server problems players are facing in the original Titanfall.

As reported by Kotaku, certain Apex Legends players on PC are noticing hacked in-game playlists and notifications that features text that is both complaining about the hacking situation in Titanfall and advertising SaveTitanfall.com, a website that is claiming EA and Respawn – the company behind both these games – is not doing enough to keep 2014’s Titanfall safe from attacks.

Visitors to SaveTitanfall.com are greeted by a message explaining the situation alongside links to help others learn about the current state of these problems.

“Titanfall is a beloved franchise by many, and hacker issues have been at rise,” the aforementioned message reads. “The Titanfall community has been begging Respawn to fix this issue for over three years, but to no avail. Today the game is still being sold, while being completely unplayable. It’s time we speak up.”

Have you played Apex Legends?

YESNO

These hacked messages in Apex Legends don’t appear to be happening to everyone, and the majority of the screenshots and clips of the hack are from PC. The biggest problem is that these affected players aren’t even able to join other playlists outside of the problematic ones.

Apex Legends News on Twitter was one of the first to report the issue, and it shared a screenshot of the hacked playlist in question.

This also follows Titanfall 1 & 2 suffering from DDOS attacks, which has added to the frustration to those still looking to play these games.
