This aligns with the game’s slow growth following a sensational period of growth. But that only tells a part of the story.Īs you can see, Apex Legends positively flew to the top of the Twitch charts before sliding down almost as quickly as it arrived. However, it looks like Apex Legends may have peaked early while Fortnite grew gradually before skyrocketing and then showing steady numbers.
By comparison, current battle royale king Fortnite took sixteen weeks to reach such a milestone. In 2022, Apex Legends is one of the most popular games in the world, smashing record after record.Īt the time of launch, Apex recorded a very healthy 2 million concurrent players just a week after launch. For Apex to then need a further six months to hit 70 million players in October indicates a certain decline, but that’s not where it ended for Apex Legends. Apex then hit 50 million players in March 2019, a month after launch. Just over a week after release, Apex had 25 million players. Since its launch in February 2019, Apex reached 2.5 million players in just a couple of days and 10 million players in under a week. However, this is not quite as impressive as it first appears. In Apex Legends’ case, it hit a landmark of 70 million players by October 2019, suggesting that it was a consistent hit that kept on growing and growing steadily. Question is: with the initial hype bubble now long burst, how many people play Apex Legends in 2022? After skyrocketing to the top of Twitch, the playerbase seems to have dwindled in the eyes of many, but Apex is definitely still one of the most popular battle royale games out there. Thanks to some very generous spending on influencer marketing from EA, it being a part of the Titanfall universe, and its free nature, Apex Legends took the gaming world by storm. When Apex Legends first dropped out of almost nowhere, it was a revelation.
