Vincent Zampella, CEO of Respawn Entertainment, said the game's player base doubled overnight, which would bring the population above two million.
"Apex Legends" quickly became the most-watched video game on Twitch too, with more than 390,000 concurrent viewers watching live a day after the game's release. The game is fast-paced and features unique characters, rather than the generic avatars of "Fortnite" and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds."
I’m so overwhelmed right now, @PlayApex broke a million unique players in under 8 hours. ❤️❤️❤️
