Vince Zampella tweets about the success of yesterday's launch of Apex Legends. Word is the free-to-play battle royale hit the one million player threshold within the first eight hours of its launch: "I�m so overwhelmed right now, @PlayApex broke a million unique players in under 8 hours. ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much for showing up and being part of this with @Respawn you are amazing!!" There's also a post on reddit where Respawn recaps the launch. Word is to expect a small server patch this morning to address stability issues. They are also soliciting feedback:

The support and excitement for Apex Legends has been more than we could have imagined. The whole team is thrilled to see people loving the game as much as we do. We love the praise, but we also want to hear what could be better. A few things for example we�d love your feedback on:

How do weapons feel? Distinct? Samey?

Do Legend abilities feel effective?

Are you finding loot quickly enough? Is ammo too hard to find? Is a type of ammo feel to scarce?

What areas of the game could be explained better?

What do you wish Apex had that it doesn�t

What are your favorite cosmetics?

I guess they are a wholly owned subsidiary or perhaps EA just deemed it different markets but I can't help feel like there's some overlap. Not really competition in my eyes. Ones a PVE grinder and really expensive, ones PVP only and f2p. Anthem vs Division 2 releasing right next to each other is a little more perplexing. Though in this case they probably wanted to get Apex out before Battlefield BR stole the headlines. It will be interesting to see if this game has any staying power in the BR genre, or whether everyone will head back to their favorite BR game within a month or two. I still dont see the appeal, no mechs, forced teams of 3, and it just looks like blackout all over again. I'll give it a try at some point though...
