Throughout its two-year journey, Apex Legends has sustained its position among the most popular battle royale titles in the gaming market. The game has continued growing substantially as its player base expanded by 30% in the past year, according to EA. Besides, the battle royale from Respawn regularly ranks among the top-10 titles in terms of Steam player count and Twitch viewership.

Apex Legends esports is also on the rise with the recent announcement of the ALGS Championship. Featuring a $1 million prize pool, this ultimate tournament will serve as the epic culmination to the maiden Global Series season for the battle royale. While the future seems bright for Apex’s competitive scene, the game is also witnessing an increased interest at present.

Recently, Apex Legends surged past the 200k concurrent viewership count on Twitch. Much of this feat is attributed to the Winter Circuit Playoffs, which took place on March 27 & 28, and the availability of Twitch drops during the event. Fans flocked to watch the best teams compete and earned exclusive cosmetic rewards based on how long they watched.

With a significant viewership invested in Apex Legends esports, it is rewarding for the pro players who have dedicated themselves to the grind as well as the developers who created the game. And one Respawn dev couldn’t help but express their excitement for the future.

Fans of Apex Legends can look forward to a range of exciting content as the player base expands

Every Apex Legends season usually ushers in a ton of new content. It also brings in a batch of buffs and nerfs, alongside other gameplay improvements. However, there is barely any official input surrounding the expansions of the upcoming season at this moment.

The subtle tease from Moy Parra shows the dev team is excited for the journey ahead and so is the player base. Here are some responses to the Respawn dev’s tweet from hyped-up fans.

Though, this isn’t the first time that the devs have expressed their excitement for the future of Apex. While speaking about upcoming seasons, game director Chad Grenier previously stated, “In Season 9, you’re gonna see some major things that you did not expect. Our best work is yet to be released, so I’m just really excited.”

It’s pretty obvious the developers are working on some major things. Although, they can’t offer much intel until an official announcement. But what we know is Apex Legends is still very popular after two years and growing continually.

The game launched on Nintendo Switch earlier this month, and there are also plans for releasing a mobile version. Therefore, the Apex community can expect a significant increase in its numbers and diversity as newer players sign up.
