Apex Legends Player Count
By Hope CorriganApex Legends success is not slowing down and player count is rising significantly higher than any other videogame that is out there. Though some people are raging towards EA for not publishing/delaying the Titanfall 3. It seems like Apex Legends is doing well. We had heard that the game was at 2.5 million players and a concurrent player count of 600,000 players within a day of its launch, but the new numbers we. So far Apex Legends reached more than 50 million players worldwide in just 4 weeks and that was announced by Respawn almost a month ago. There are no further announcements on the player count but it is safe to say that with the launch of Season One and Battle Pass, Apex Legends player count is going up pretty fast. We have covered Apex Legends.
EA's new battle royale shooter Apex Legends has reached 25 million total players since its debut last week.
An update on the official EA website from Respawn Entertainment CEO Vince Zampella announced the news of the milestone, which also notes that the game hosted two million concurrent players during its peak over the weekend.
During its first three days, Apex Legends drew in 10 million players, 2.5 million of which were during the first day.

Just three days after it launched, Apex Legends has already hit 10 million players, with a peak concurrent player count of more than 1 million, developer Respawn Entertainment announced Thursday.
The battle royale game launched on Monday at the same time as it was revealed by Respawn Entertainment, the developers behind Titanfall. The game is free to play and is available on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4, which surely helped it reach a high number of players in such a short time — why not try a free game?

Apex Legends was inspired by other wildly popular battle royale games like Fortnite and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds where players drop down onto an island where the playable area gets smaller and smaller as people fight to be the last survivors.
Apex Legends distinguishes itself from the competition with its unique characters, each with distinct abilities and personalities, as well as the fact that if you play your cards right you can revive your dead squadmates.
Right now it looks like Apex Legends could be going the way of Fortnite and PUBG in terms of popularity, but we'll have to see how the next few months go. If Respawn Entertainment manages to keep a steady stream of content updates coming, things could go in their favor.
For perspective, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, one of the most popular games of 2018, sold 3 million copies after 11 days, to Apex Legends' 10 million. Of course, Smash was $60 and Apex Legends is free, so it's tough to compare them directly.
Fortnite was also a slower burn than Apex Legends, given the fact that it didn't even launch with its popular Battle Royale mode – but that mode still took two weeks to hit 10 million players.
It'll be hard for Apex Legends to beat the eventual records hit by PUBG and Fortnite, which have racked up hundreds of millions of players. But 10 million players after just 72 hours is an impressive start.
