Summary
Ranked Map Rotation Update
Following successful testing in East Asia during Season 28, Respawn is implementing a permanent 4.5-hour map rotation cadence for Ranked play globally. This change aims to allow players to experience more map variety within a single play session and reduce the time spent on any single map. While this is a permanent shift, the developers noted they may continue to tweak the specific duration based on further testing to find the most optimal timeline.
