And as I mentioned earlier, congratulating competitors is commonplace in the industry. Lest we not forget how Phil Spencer (Executive Vice President of Gaming at Microsoft) reached out to Sony and Santa Monica Studios over God of Wars’ stellar reviews . Or when the Microsoft brand congratulated Nintendo for the launch of the Nintendo Swit
Heck, even doing a quick audit of both titles’ standings on Twitch, Apex Legends leads in viewership with 433K viewers. Fortnite is sitting in third, with just over 143K viewers. Whether this is a flash in the pan for the new battle royale game or the white whale to finally surpass Fortnite , those are some terrific numbers for the once under-appreciated EA t
First unveiled over the weekend by YouTuber TheQuartering , and then further confirmed by multiple media outlets and our own sources, Apex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale shooter described as a Titanfall spinoff of sorts, sans the actual Titans.

Bangalore is a soldier class that will feel nicely familiar to anyone who has played battle royale games before. She also has a similar ability to Caustic’s toxic gas, with her tactical smoke grenades, which when dropped will obscure line of sight.

The news of Apex Legends ‘ new modes come courtesy of Twitter user @ApexUpdate . A fan account for the game, ApexUpdate posted a Tweet of the game’s files. In the code there is wording that suggests a solo mode and a 2-Man Squad are already in the game’s data. This suggests that they could be released to the public very, very s
On the other end, there is the likely chance that this was Epic Games doing some non-existant PR damage control. By all means, I’m sure they are increasingly conscious of the rise of Apex Legends — EA has been able to quote daily successes since the game’s unexpected launch. In the first eight hours, the battle royale title had scored over a million individual players . Within 48 hours, that number had jumped to 2.5 million players . Then, by the end of the work week, Apex Legends had managed to reach 10 million players, with a high score of 1 million concurren

Either way, it’s certainly encouraging to see the company have a proper hit on their hands, especially with a game as polished and smartly designed as **Apex Legends

Additionally, more than 1 million concurrent players were on the game’s servers during this same period. As pointed out by Twitter user Benji-Sales , the release of Apex Legends also saw a rise in Respawn’s parent company EA’s stock prices.
