The launch of Respawn's Apex Legends must've caught most of the consumer base (and even much of the industry) by surprise. A silent entry into the gaming world, published by EA? Color us all surprised. The new game, which has roots on Respawn's Titanfall IP, is a free-to-play Battle Royale game that does away with Titanfall's mechs in order to sustain up to 60 players in a match, made up of 20 teams of three players.
 
The game was teased and announced in a record 8 hours or so, and that announcement saw the game being subsequently downloaded and played by more than 1 million unique users, all vying for a try of the next battle royale fix.

    Even though by principle alone, I hate BR games.... I hope Respawn makes some money off this one -because Titanfall 2 was a great game & just didn't do big profits for them for some reason.
    It was better than the last 3 COD's and from other places I read this new BR game puts COD blackout to shame.

    I saw it hit 10 million earlier today. I installed tonight to check it out but no time to play. Anyone else playing? Likes - dislikes so far?

    Doesn't surprise me much considering the marketing budget for this game. The ads are everywhere.

    Two people I know both said they really like it.  Very polished for a Free to Play.... and you can be good without having to actually Pay 2 win.

    Be interesting to see where this game is next month though. Gamers have the attention span of squirrels on meth.
