The feature was causing players to experience lag and rubberbanding issues in the games, so the developers disabled it for the time being. 

In the tweet shown below, the developers explained their reasoning behind the change. They have also stated the prox sensor will remain disabled until the issues caused by it can be fixed. 

There was no time frame when it would be fixed at the time, but the prox sensor is now active and can be used by players again with the recent update.
