A Message from Vince Zampella has word from the Respawn boss on how
Apex
Legends is performing like a boss since the launch of this battle royale
Titanfall spinoff a few days ago. Word is that just 72 hours after the launch of the
free-to-play game over 10 million players have played, and the game has peaked
at over one million concurrent players:
In 72 hours, over 10 million
players have jumped into Apex Legends and we’ve breached 1 million concurrent
players!
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.
