Apex Ledgends records get shatterd breaking the game’s all-time player count on Steam as 510,286 players join in a single session.
Apex Legends just set a new record for concurrent players on Steam with the launch of Season 14.
Despite having dropped since Tuesday, when a total of 510,286 players popped into Apex Legends at one point, it is clear that there is a lot of interest in the current season.
Apex Legends’ impressive player count was recorded by the useful Steam Charts service, which currently indicates that 414,983 players were playing the game on April 25th, the same day that the new Season 13 trailer was released.
According to the Steam numbers, the previous peak was 411,183 players on April 25th. Whatever was causing such a massive influx of players that day, it’s been surpassed now.
Apex Legends has become quite popular among battle royale and first-person shooter enthusiasts, and this new record tells the tale.
It is still possible that the record will be broken this weekend, as players habitually flock to games. This weekend and next could be a major boon for Respawn Entertainment, but there is still a possibility that the next season will be even bigger.
It’s quite good for a game that’s been out long enough to complete 14 seasons, no matter what the reason was for this peak. Players followed it to Steam from EA’s launcher after it became available there, indicating that those players are still interested in new content.
It’s possible that the enticing patch notes for Season 14, which listed buffs for a number of different champions such as Mad Maggie and Newcastle, drew players back in, or that Vantage herself was the draw.
Although this new Legend joins the Apex Games, she comes with a winged friend, excellent snipes, and mobility, as well as all of her abilities listed below if you haven’t seen them yet:
Ultimate: Sniper’s Mark
- Your custom sniper rifle allows you to mark enemy targets, which causes you and your team to receive a damage bonus.
Passive: Spotter’s Lens
- Use your scope (unarmed or with mid- to long-range scopes) to scout with your eyepiece, and use a bullet drop indicator to see where your shots will land.
Tactical: Echo Location
- Position your companion Echo then fly towards him. You must have line of sight to Echo for the Launch to work.
Despite all its efforts, the battle royale game hasn’t yet earned the title of being a genuine competitor in the field. Apex Legends: Mobile, which will be released this month, will continue to gain strength as it goes from strength to strength.
Players are excited to check out the Kings Canyon map’s new changes and meet Vantage, a new legend, in Season 14’s brand-new release. It’s not surprising that there are so many new and returning players at the beginning of the season, but breaking records is.
