Apex Legends became a success almost immediately after its launch. On the same day it became available, Respawn studio director Vince Zampella reported that 1 million players were active in less than eight hours.
Zampella expressed his surprise and satisfaction with the news:
"Thank you so much for being part of this with Respawn, you are incredible! I am so overwhelmed right now that @PlayApex reached one million active players in less than 8 hours."
For those who do not know, Apex Legends takes place in the same universe as Titanfall and was released on February 4 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The game is a battle royale, and Respawn will constantly update the content, which will grow and improve over time. According to the information available, the title will have a battle pass similar to Fortnite, with long-term unlockable content.
Below is the game's official description:
