Update: Apex Legends Drew 10 Million Players in 3 Days
Update #2 February 7, 1:10 p.m.: Respawn Entertainment's Vince Zampella has announced yet another major milestone in playercount for Apex Legends.
Zampella announced on Twitter that 10 million players have tried out Apex Legends in just 72 hours. EA previously confirmed 2.5 million had played in the first day, meaning an additional 7.5 jumped in in the subsequent two days. Apex Legends also hit 1 million peak concurrent players in those three days.
"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," Zampella wrote in a blog post.
Apex Legends Drew in 1 Million Players in Less Than 8 Hours
Respawn Entertainment's free-to-play battle royale game went live yesterday, and had over one million unique players within eight hours of launch.
The studio's CEO, Vince Zampella, tweeted the news early Tuesday morning, saying that he was "overwhelmed" and adding in, "Thank you so much for showing up and being part of this with @Respawn you are amazing!!"
Apex Legends reached a peak of almost 500,000 viewers on Twitch and is sitting at around 200,000 at the time of writing, according to GitHyp.
