In less than a month, Apex Legends reaches 50 million players

The battle royale Apex Legends reached the number of 50 million registered players in less than a month of its launch. Developer Respawn Entertainment celebrated the fact via a tweet.

"Apex Legends has reached 50 million players worldwide! We're thrilled with all your support and can't wait to show you what's next," the company said.

The developer revealed other numbers about Apex Legends: ultimate abilities were activated more than 1,23 times, 31 billion pings were used and 170 million respawns were made.

It is worth mentioning that Fortnite, the most popular game of last year, and considered a rival to Apex Legends, reached the mark of 30 million players after three months of its launch. Currently, the game has 200 million subscribers. Fortnite, unlike Apex Legends, was not advertised for free, only after its release did it become a free-to-play battle royale. The game, even recently, reached a historic record of simultaneous players, with 7,6 million players online.

Apex Legends is available for PlayStation 4, PC and Xbox One, while Fortnite has versions for macOS, Nintendo Switch, Android and iOS.
