Apex Legends keeps falling down in concurrent player count

Author : Penelope Jan 22,2025

Apex Legends faces a significant challenge: dwindling player numbers amidst cheating, bugs, and an unpopular battle pass. A prolonged decline in concurrent players, mirroring Overwatch's stagnation, is evident in the data.

The core issues are multifaceted: Limited Time Events offering minimal new content beyond skins, rampant cheating, flawed matchmaking, and a lack of gameplay diversity are driving players to competitors like the newly released Marvel Heroes and the ever-evolving Fortnite. Respawn Entertainment faces a critical juncture, needing decisive action and innovative content to retain its player base. The future success of Apex Legends hinges on their response to this current downturn.
