25 million players have tried out the new battle royale game Apex Legends in the first week of it being available. The game has also seen a peak of 2 million concurrent player milestone sometime last week.

The new figure is not surprising considering the game was able to attract 10 million players in the first 72 hours of its release. With 10 million players in the first three days, Apex Legends is growing faster than Fortnite at the time of its release.

The game is set in the Titanfall universe and takes place after the events of Titanfall 2. It is free to play and contains microtransactions in the form of weapon and character skins.

Apex Legends released on February 4, 2019, for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
