Apex Legends revenue drops 74% from launch

Apex Legends had a staggering launch that put it on top in just about every metric that can measure a game’s success. But that momentum has slowed over just a few months, and the game’s revenue has slipped to match. Respawn’s battle royale is only making a quarter of what it did back in February - a big dip from the best launch in free-to-play history.

The game made $24 million in April, as SuperData reports (via Eurogamer). That’s no small amount of money, but it is a massive dip from the game’s launch revenue of $92 million. A 74% dip in revenue over the space of two months is certainly cause for concern, especially given what it likely means for the Apex Legends player count - over 50 million, at one point.

Apex Legends is by no means dead, but its position as a Fortnite-killer is looking much more uncertain. The game’s updates haven’t been as frequent as Fortnite’s, and the new content that has launched - like the Apex Legends battle pass - hasn’t been super well-received by the community.
