Vince Zampella from Respawn Entertainment has announced that in 72 hours, Apex Legends has surpassed 10 million players, achieving more than 1 million concurrent players. Here is his message:
“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.
See you in the arena!”
Apex Legends, a free-to-play battle royale shooter, is available right now on Origin for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
