Apex Legends Reaches 10 Million Players in just under 72 Hours

Apex Legends 10 Million

Apex Legends has reach 1 million concurrent players and a total of 10 million players in just 72 hours after its launch. The game continues to attract an impressive number of players and the number is only growing more.

CEO of Respawn Vince Zampella announced the news of the number of players reaching more than 10 million in three days after its release on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, and with more than a million people playing at the same time.

This has been a truly incredible journey. We tested and tweaked. We argued and agreed. We got to a point where we felt some magic. We knew it would be risky to take the franchise in this direction, to go free to play, and do a surprise launch. But we fell in love with Apex Legends and wanted, needed, other people to play it too.

We hoped you’d love it as much as us, but never in our wildest dreams could we have expected the outpouring of support and positivity we’ve seen. From all of us at Respawn, thank you for giving us and Apex Legends a chance. Thank you for joining us on this journey. This is just the beginning! We have so much more in store for you this year.

Though the number of concurrent players is still not as high as Fortnite, a game which Apex Legends wants to compete with, it is still too early to count it out of the race. Fortnite has reported a peak concurrent user count of 8.3 million, and might have reached over 10 million in last week’s Marshmello live concert.

To put the total number of players in comparison, Overwatch reached 10 million in three weeks, while PUBG racked that number in 6 months. Apex Legends, however has done that in just under 3 days.

If you are not aware of this new game, Apex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale game that is set in Titanfall universe and developed by Respawn. The game comes with a mix of all the other popular battle royale games currently out there, and blends in all the elements to make it such a polished game.
