I am right now really looking forward to some Battlepass news. I think that will make me play it even more.
Oh it's coming. Streamers have been laying it and I think there is another even for it soon. Just can't see it taking of like this one, just because you need BFV.

The explosion of the battle royale popularity spearheaded by Fortnite helped the Apex numbers. Not necessarily "Apex is the better game".
Wow, amazing. I kind of thought that this would die down after its initial surge, but quite the opposite seems to be happening! Well done Respawn.
The game is legitimately fun. It doesn't have any, what I deem, unnecessary mechanics that complicate things (building nonsense). The shooting is actually satisfying. It brought in great communication systems to allow the mic-less players to adequately communicate with their teammates.
Great game.
Great game.
It's almost like making F2P games F2P is a successful strategy. Keep putting loot boxes in $60 games, though.
Incredible that they tied it into the Titanfall world. Imagine Titanfall 3 featuring an Apex Legend as its protagonist. Or Titans being introduced as a game mode in this!!
Best is still ahead.

Holy fuck, 50 million is nuts. I thought it was like at 20 million by now
Crazy to think its not even on mobile yet and its hitting those numbers

Comments like these are a head scratcher. With Activision laying off hundreds, GOG laying off staff as well, and an overall voice that we want developers to feel safe and secure with their jobs, you want to see games die?
Dude same. I was halfway through KH3 and really enjoying it but I can't stop playing Apex.
I have 110 on ps4 and 70 on PC
Not in a million years i would've thought i'd get addicted to a BR game
Hey!! I got two Mozambique kills back to back in one round. Killed two campers by flanking them. Where's my recognition!!? Lol50m players and 1 Mozambique kill. Loved Respawns take on this😂
This is me. I honestly assumed that I just didn't like these kinds of games until I started playing Apex.
PUBG exploded BR to popularity, Fortnite just really brought it to mainstream by being more accessible and casual game (read: PUGB is mil sim lite) with faster gameplay.
"Is X, Y or Z subjectively better game" really depends on what you are looking for in BG game.
I call bullshit on that 1 Mozambique kill dwl.
Congrats to RESPAWN, you have become one of my favorite Devs since the release of Titanfall and i will continue to support you for as long as you continue making axcellent games. You guys are now 3/3 in my book and now im looking forward to Star Wars.

Won't be cancelled but will it launch in March? Still no proper reveal.
Alright Freya easy there.
It seems an excellent game under its frustration layer. Unfortunately, for me it's 80% running around and looting and only 20% shooting. As a shooter fan who comes from arena shooters and who likes (Team) Deathmatch in Overwatch, for example, this is very little shooting :( I wish I'd be better at this and would have a 10 kill count or so each round.
They deserve it however, Excellent microtransaction implementation for a free 2 play game, great gunplay and feeling, and sound. I hope they work on their future character design, though. Could be better.

Success for games like this makes me feel old. This is why the boomers hate us. it makes no sense.
just a few years ago, games that spent too much time putting you back in after a death were criticized for being too slow to get you back into the action. cod was praised for its fast load times, quick and constant action and killstreaks to constantly reward players. there is nothing of that sort here and its a huge success.
im happy for Respawn after that awful TF2 launch. this pretty much buys them a good 10 years at EA. but man, i just dont get it. I guess being F2P helps which makes me wonder if BF battle royale and a Sony killzone or mag or resistance F2P game will have success like this. Hell, if there is actually a need to release a $60 multiplayer only game at all. just launch MAG 2 for free and make money from skins and loot boxes. Profit.

50m is crazy. And well-deserved. It's not really my style of game, but I hope the innovations make their way into other team games. I love how co-op works so well without needing a mic.
What are the maximum concurrent player counts?
I'm sure they're very high, but total player base is a bit unreliable for F2P games. I've played <10 matches but am technically 2 "players" since I have it on PC and PS4. I mean, why wouldn't you install it at that price!

Downtime after death is actually pretty low. You can get revived and respawned. And if the squad is killed it takes like 2 minutes to drop into a new game.
I think the higher stakes with a BR game make it more exciting.
Congrats, now they just need to fix the crashes, make the melee less awful and broken and nerf the Wingman.
Eh, I've hated the "less downtime" approach to everything but arena FPS games like Quake for ages. Especially when it started to creep into the Battlefield series which has IMO been really harmed by an aversion to any downtime at all. Pacing is better than just constant wall to wall blasting in anything that's not Quake/UT/etc. Introducing killstreaks etc is where CoD started to lose me, the original game's MP was a very different beast.
