Apex Legends keeps falling down in concurrent player count

Author : Christian Jan 04,2025

Apex Legends is struggling. Recent declines in peak concurrent players mirror the stagnation experienced by Overwatch. The game is facing a trifecta of challenges: rampant cheating, persistent bugs, and an unpopular new battle pass. This downward trend, clearly visible in player count data, is a significant departure from the game's initial launch success.

The core issues plaguing Apex Legends are multifaceted. Limited Time Events offer little beyond cosmetic changes, while persistent problems with cheating, flawed matchmaking, and a lack of gameplay innovation are driving players away. The recent release of Marvel Heroes, along with Fortnite's continued popularity and diverse offerings, exacerbates the situation. Respawn Entertainment faces a serious challenge to regain player interest and reverse this negative trend. The developer's response will be crucial in determining the game's future.
