Apex Legends keeps falling down in concurrent player count

Author : Allison Jan 21,2025

The competitive gaming landscape is a double-edged sword. While consumers benefit from choices, developers often face intense pressure. Apex Legends, for example, is currently struggling. The game is plagued by cheaters, persistent bugs, and a poorly-received new battle pass.

This has resulted in a significant and sustained decline in peak concurrent players, a trend mirroring the game's numbers only seen at launch.

Apex Legends' woes are strikingly similar to Overwatch's stagnation. Limited Time Events offer little beyond new skins, while persistent issues like cheating, flawed matchmaking, and a lack of gameplay diversity are driving players away.

The recent release of Marvel Heroes isn't helping, further siphoning players from the already struggling Apex Legends and Overwatch. Fortnite, meanwhile, continues its reign, offering a consistently updated and engaging experience. Respawn Entertainment needs to act decisively to introduce fresh content and address player concerns, or risk losing even more of its player base. The challenge ahead is significant.
