Apex Legends players will be pleased to know that the Ranked map changes every 24 hours instead of the split-like rotation of last season. While they have clamored for this to happen, the change should appeal to the Apex community.

Apex Legends now has three primary maps after developers Respawn Entertainment, along with Panic Button Games, introduced Broken Moon last season, and players will look to explore each of them. However, it's difficult to have three maps simultaneously for ranked play.
Previously, in Season 15, the new map Broken Moon was part of the first split but later changed with midseason splits and soft resets. In the preview session, Rutledge explained that the game will have Broken Moon, Storm Point, and World's Edge as part of the new map rotation.
