Apex Legends has not only surpassed 25 million players in just one week of release but also boasts an impressive 2 million plus concurrent players despite its lack of publicity or hype prior to its launch.
Apex Legends was hot out of the gate with impressive day one numbers of around 2.5 million players and close too 600,000 concurrent. A few days later the game steam-rolled past 10,000,000 players and 1,000,000 concurrents. One week later and Apex Legends shows absolutely no sign of slowing down according to Respawn founder Vince Zampella who states the game has now “hit 25 million players” and “well over two million concurrent players” at its peak.
Zampella went on to state in an update “Since we launched Apex Legends last week on Monday we’ve seen the creation of an Apex Legends community that is excited, thriving, and full of great feedback and ideas. Our goal is to build this game with you, our community, so keep giving us your feedback because we really are listening.”
He also hinted at the games near future including the start of the games first season, which will introduce new characters, weapons, and loot as well as the games battle pass which we know very little of right now and the upcoming Twitch Rivals Apex Legends Challenge which will pit 48 of Twitch’s biggest names against each over for a massive $200,000 prize pool spread across two events on February 12 and 19. Fans can also expect Valentine’s Day-themed loot will also be made available for a limited time beginning later this week.
Despite Apex Legends many new developments over the past few days there have been no confirmations for solo, duo, and ranked games which fans have expressed interest in. Hopefully, we’ll see those in the near future. Have you been playing Apex Legends since its surprise launch?
