Apex Legends hits an all-new concurrent user peak on Steam
- Thread starter Arthands
- Start date
I got back to it since season 4, and it is the game I mostly play until now. And I think it will be bigger since Switch version is also around the corner and xbox will have free multiplay for f2p game. Now only thing I want is cross progression across all platform since I am playing on Steam at the moment, and will be playing it on Switch too. And I want to have my XB skins and everything on other platforms.
People on here think PUBG is dead and that still gets 400k peak players on Steam.
So you can play this on Steam now and you dont have to use Origin? or does it launch it?
The menus always confused I could never get how to buy stuff like the heroes etc. like the cheapest way.

Yeah, and even more players on mobile (2nd highest revenue worldwide in 2018-2020). But nobody talks about PUBG here, so it's dead lol.
If my memory serves, you don't have to launch Origin. You only need to sign in to your Origin account in-game once.
You can pretty much unlock all Legends just by playing. Each legend costs you 12000 Legend Tokens and you can get 600 Legend Tokens every level or two levels (depending on your current level).
I think you might be thinking of something else? Apex has always been pretty popular and has maintained a steady player base for the last two years.
Wonder if it's still sporting the worst netcode in the entire genre.
It suffered a lot when they released the first seasonal update I think, it was extremely underwhelming. Even while the game has got bigger since then, it felt like that was the moment it became clear it would always be in Fortnite's shadow - EA/Respawn weren't going to iterate it as aggressively.
When you feel like taking the statement "game X is dead" seriously, consider that a lot of people say that PUBG and Pokémon GO are dead
I dropped Apex a while ago. Apex is a great game, but unfortunately my friends schedules don't always match with mine, so they were not always available to team up with me. I was getting sick of being matched with either selfish players that made no attempt at any teamwork, or tryhard players that would scream abuse at me when I didn't constantly rush other teams with them.
For those of you that have a friend or two to play with regularly, id recommend.

That's weird, the guns sound better here.
Last time I've visited the official thread here it was mostly people complaining about the game and said they're quitting lol
Destiny 2 was my main game before Apex took over. I was (and am) a big Titanfall 2 fan, so I decided to play once during Season 02 for the laugh. Now we're in Season 08 and I'm still playing, bar a bit of break during Season 05.
I am really enjoying this Season overall. Game feels like it's in a good spot right now, and the Anniversary event was great with some nice free rewards. The Takeover has been a breath of fresh air as well.
I played a lot of Apex when it first came out, into Season 1. I dropped off due to irl circumstances and just never ended up redownloading the game until last night.
I ended up playing a few rounds before work today, and had a ton of fun. I wish I hadn't stayed away for so long. Lol. As an avid Spitfire and Devotion main, I love that there's a character made to specifically buff them!

Yeah it's pretty dope. They seem to have the midas touch at the moment.
Loved Titanfall 2 and Apex is probably my most played game at the moment, it definitely has the "just one more match" quality that a lot of multiplayer games lack.
Really happy to see the game thriving, Respawn has done a great job and it's easily the best BR going imo. I really liked the gunplay and innovative BR ideas when it launched, but King's Canyon had issues and a few friends were still too hooked on Fortnite, so we never shifted over as a group. A friend and I still checked in here and there, but it wasn't until Olympus and duos becoming a standard queue that we really got hooked and started playing it as a main game. Olympus is their best map yet by far imo, but the new King's is very solid and we eventually grew to like World's Edge too.
I'm really happy with where the game is now generally, and they keep improving it in terms of map design, BR design, interesting mechanics/ideas, and characters. I think my only complaint honestly is just that their servers seem very unstable with their recent growth. Oh, and also the extremely greedy economy. The cosmetic prices and loot box system are just outrageous, frankly, and feel very un-Respawn (it feels very EA, but apparently they've said EA hasn't forced them to do anything, so I guess the blame is on them).

Respawn consistency in delivering gems this gen is among the best. Well deserved, Apex made BR make sense to me lol

Best BR on the market. Hope EA doesn't make the next Battlefield BR to compete with themselves.
Also been playing it a ton more, last update is super good

Honestly same. I agree.
I completely disagree personally.
Lmao
It's true though, they're one of the few companies nowadays that have me excited for every new project.
I think I'm funny lol
And yes. Every time I play a game of theirs, there will be SOMETHING that I'm like...holy SHIT yes THANK YOU that is so common sense and other developers wouldn't do that.
Honestly my only miss from them so far is Titanfall 2's multiplayer. It's so meh to me, and they have way fewer maps than Titanfall 1, even though honestly on the whole Titanfall 1's maps where better. The ones they brought over were classic, but they honestly should have brought them all over. But the multiplayer just has other problems for me. For some reason shooting feels flat, and I hate all the shit on screen, coming from Titanfall 1 which was elegant and honestly just perfect in the UI space. It's still a good multiplayer though. It just didn't grab me. Do love the grappling hook though. Wish I loved the rest of it so I felt the desire to play more and get good at the grappling hook.
Best FPS on the market in terms of gameplay rn imo, worst monetization tho, can't buy what you want directly and theres stuff that only comes from overpriced lootboxes.
They've shaken things up considerably from 1 to 2. It took me a while to get used to it and I also considered the first superior. However, the extra movement options are just too good. It just takes time to adapt.
