Apex Legend just hit a new all-time high player count thanks to Team Deathmatch

[ad_1]

Apex Legends has just hit a new all-time-high for concurrent players, beating its previous record by 100,000 players.

As spotted by Kotaku, Apex Legends seems to be doing very well for itself. That’s because, as recorded by SteamDB, the battle royale has reached a massive new peak of players all active in the game simultaneously, currently sitting at a peak of 624,473 players (it was 610,433 at the time of Kotaku’s report, so obviously it went even higher than first spotted). That’s an increase of more than 100,000, as the game’s previous record was roughly 510,000, which the game hit last August.

A big part of the reasoning behind the player count soaring so high is the recent introduction of the game’s 16th season, Revelry. In particular, players seem to be very happy about the addition of a new mode that many have wanted for a long time: Team Deathmatch. A classic mode that brings players back into the fray constantly, team deathmatch replaced the slightly contentious Arenas mode.
