Apex Legends, a popular battle royale game developed by Respawn Entertainment, has seen a significant decline in player base since March 2023. According to SteamDB, the game’s concurrent players peaked at over 600,000 around February last year but have since dropped.
The game was once considered one of the top battle royale games alongside Fortnite, Warzone, and PUBG. However, with PUBG falling short in its dominance, Apex Legends seems to be following a similar trend.
The question on everyone’s mind is what caused this decline. While Respawn Entertainment has not explicitly stated the reason, some changes have been made to improve the solo queue experience through matchmaking.
However, these efforts may not be enough to bring back players. The game needs a more significant change if it wants to regain its former popularity. Fans and critics alike are calling for improvements in various areas of the game, including its battle royale mode and overall gameplay.
Time will tell if Respawn Entertainment can revamp Apex Legends and restore it to its former glory or if the game’s decline is permanent.
