Apex Legends has become one of the most popular games, despite only be around 1 week old. Leaked and revealed last week Respawn Entertainment's free-to-play battle royale title has soared in player count, now reaching 10 million players and 1 million concurrent.

“Apex Legends Reaches 10 Million Players, 1 Million Concurrent Player Count”

Congrats to Respawn. They did an amazing job and launching the game out of nowhere worked.

This is how you do a Battle Royale game. The ping system is one of the best systems ever. It really helps your team out.

That's the craziest part. The amount of money they saved on marketing was probably as much as the game's budget itself.

[OCEANGROWNKUSH]

Apex couldnt have come out at a better time... fortnite/pubg is so played out, blackout is still fresh but there seemed to be a lull in the market. Whether or not they can sustain these number, only time will tell

[badz149]

IF they keep this up and EA keep their hands off it for the most part other than collecting revenue from it, maybe we can finally see something making Epic shakes in their boots

[kevnb]

They should send some of these guys over to dice to help them fix their netcode.

[Christopher]

Or perhaps at least fix sight issues when people lay on their backs.

[Majin-vegeta]

They're stil working on that and visibility in general

[excaliburps]

Ouch! That's harsh. Haha!

The game is great but it's the promotion mixed with Good game mechanics that pushed this game to the top. EA threw a lot of money since day 1 on promotion with Sony and Microsoft. They also have continuous factoids and interviews to keep promoting this game through a lot of venues. A great game can do wonders with great promotion.

[djl3485]

What promotion? It was literally announced and released the same day.

[tdogg06051991]

This was posted and plastered all over PlayStation Facebook and Microsofts Facebook. Now only that they continue to drip feed random facts like lgbtq characters, working on it for the past two years etc.

Looks like the BR genre isn't too crowded as a lot of people thought.

Great decision from Respawn to make a game like this.

[DrumBeat]

Congratulations Respawn. Here's a great BR game that I've played; a game that EA had no hand in, and it's competing with the big boys of BR. Hats off. I always liked Respawn.

I'm not a big fan of BR games but I could recognize the quality as I played it. Quality that could only come from the original IW team.

[JackBNimble]

You don't think EA is going to profit off this? They own Respawn.

[neocores8055]

Thats not what he said idiot. You should really re-read what he said. SLOWLY

[MasterCornholio]

@Neo

I honestly don’t believe that EA had no influence over the game.

[JackBNimble]

How long does it take to develop a game? I guess Respawn just has alot of free time.
Of course EA is behind this , after all this is EA we're talking about

[AK91]

Ugh did this just save EA?

[annoyedgamer]

It was literally released a few days ago... Wait 2 months then do a count.

[Marioraider18]

Complaining just to complain

[gamer9]

Naw, i would agree with that. Except i'd say wait 3 weeks then do a count...

[2pacalypsenow]

In 2019 in a market full of Battle Royale's, that's not really impressive for a free game.

[BizarroUltraman]

like your comment.... ouch! haha

[gangsta_red]

Full? In relation to what exacty? So Respawn should make a FPS game....in a market filled with FPS games.

How about a SP game...in a market filled with SP games.

I know...how about a hula hoop game on an abacus adding machine, there's an untapped market ready for pillaging.

[2pacalypsenow]

They can make whatever they want. 10 million people trying a “Free” game with 1 million active is not impressive for an established IP.

Disagree all you want.

What’s next? Activion releases a Free COD battle royale that has 15 million people downloading it and y’all are gonna be shocked too? Lol guess y’all drool when BR is mentioned.

[boing1]

It's not an established IP. COD is established IP.

[2pacalypsenow]

Titanfall is not an established IP?

[2pacalypsenow]

Lol.

Made by Respawn, Published by EA and in the TitanFall universe.

"iT's nOt rElAteD tO tITaNfAlL"

Lol please.. Just stop responding and go play the game.
