Apex Legends reaches huge 70 million player milestone

EA has been enjoying a great time this year, with the surprise launch of Apex Legends earlier this year -- but when you join it with FIFA Ultimate Team, Madden Ultimate Team, and The Sims 4 seeing Electronic Arts have "an excellent second quarter".

Electronic Arts announced Apex Legends passed 70 million players since its launch earlier this year, and then the news that Apex Legends will be coming over to Steam thanks to the new partnership between EA and Valve. This will open up the game to millions of other gamers who might not want to use or install Origin, and makes things much easier for people (like me) who only uses Origin for Apex Legends.

Apex Legends is a free-to-play title which drives its userbase through the roof, but developer Respawn Entertainment have been doing a great job keeping the game flowing well. The new third season throws in a new map into Apex Legends, which really does change the game completely.
