Apex Legends Draws in Over 1M Players Less Than 8 Hours After Launch - MMORPG.com News
It seems that the appetite for battle royale games remains strong. Respawn CEO Vince Zampella revealed on Twitter that Apex Legends had drawn in over a million unique players less than eight hours after launch. The game was announced and launched simultaneously yesterday for PC (via Origin), PlayStation 4 and XBox One.

Anybody try it yesterday?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
How many gamers you think Apex would've gotten in the first 8 hours if it had a similar box price?
It's like we're all Bill Murray in Groundhog's Day with the BR fad. We've been here before, folks.
I can see the constant sway in Twitch,it is pathetic,2-3 days in then they are gone with their drones of groupies onto the next game.However that is all it takes,that first day or two to create more sales than your game deserves.
Pow pow ....pew pew ,hide behind rock..heal..pow pow ..pew pew...hide behind rock heal...BORING !!
Less creative than the guy who created the six sided dice or a slice of bread.If you happen to like the BR genre,you have already done this game over and over and over,the ONLY difference is new title and you got suckered in to spend more money to play the same game.
What happened to Anthem,everyone quit Anthem already?When i pick a game,i PLAY IT,i don't jump around game to game following some streamer or following the crowd.it took me forever to fidn a new game i would love,i found it and still play it as much as the first day.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Well not this. This is genuine. Its true game worthy of Respawn reputation ( original creators of MW )
Without doubt we are seeing next mega hit here
By technically I mean, no server issues, no bugs, no glitches, works smooth as a butter (smoother than Overwatch on my rig and I think OW is one of the better optimized games), no drops, no lags.
Man I really hate myself sometimes because I never got the hang of BR games. I find it really dull and uninspired. I'm not enticing my opinion on anyone, it's just how it is. I tried Fortnite and lasted like what ... 15 minutes? Thought maybe it's the wrong game, then I went on and tried Realm Royale, that one kept me engaged for a little over an hour but yeah , ended up uninstalling them both.
Overwatch is where I get my online shooter fix from.
The other match.... dropped in. Someguy who was extremely loud and constantly talking. Wasnt rude or obnoxious or anything but definitely made me anxious and uncomfortable to be forced into listening to someone who clearly had a
Better understanding of the game when i was clearly terrible, trying to read things. Not knowing anything, and he is expecting pings and callouts and im just trying to figure what guns do what.
Need solo queue so i can learn at my own pace and so i dont have to be forced into social situations that make me feel anxious and uncomfortable. Im gonna be terrible, i hate putting that burden on anyone else.
They don't have to topple Fortnite. Nobody has toppled WoW in 14 years yet some are healthy enough to be very successful. Respawn has the potential to do the same, if they don't screw up customers.
Since its new in MMO space ppl will talk about it for sure, but it far more amazing if been told your game still had a million players still after 8 years from now that is a big deal, for most MMO they don't even hold 8k of ppl around the 2 years in. Of course there will be exception but we are not talking about those. And since BR genera is still somewhat new-ish not enough historical data to calling amazing for those that cares.
Maybe, just maybe it just me but this game sure looks very inspired by Fortnite lmao, went and check out the videos for this game. IMO just another Fortnite wannabe, looks new as least in term of art style than your average Fornite. But will that be enough to hold its own or just more of the same with "some" key differences for the obvious.
But as for anything newer than the last game of course ppl would folk to it, while Anthem is not a BR game so cant really compare. However, I will say the fans of BR is seeming globally larger than said any other genera. At the same time BR is more of a tendy genera like fashion wave, then again PvP game type don't last long nor a long term game to invest into IMO. End of the day, we all want to lay back and relax in the warm of friends and family, cant say the same for those that are only into PvP games.
Lastly, I say Apex Legend looks more serious darker than those lesser kiddy grade apparel like in Fortnite art Style, perhaps, this will no doubt steal some numbers off of other games, but only time will tell where the dice land for Apex Legend. Side note; the name sounding less impress every time you say it out loud at least for me anyway.
