- Is Apex Legends Dying? Apex Legends News. Apex Leaks.
Season 21 of Apex Legends is out now and with it comes the brand new Skirmisher Legend Alter, the return of Solos LTM, and Broken Moon Map updates.
Now over a month into Season 21 of Apex Legends, it feels incredibly slow and dry.
According to the Steam Charts, the recent player count for Apex Legends has been super lower compared to previous weeks and months.
This could be due to Solos taking over Duos, the amount of hackers and cheaters in Ranked, no LTMs (besides Control despite it being in Mixtape), and no Collection Events just yet.

Have you been playing Apex Legends less? What do you think Respawn should do to boost player count? Let me know!
Maybe fix this matchmaking system
Im lvl 450 prestige 0 so why the hell im getting in prestige 1 and 2 lobbys
Bring back arenas and allow people to play from solo to squads
nope More then ever
How did you get that emoji
@@EXCSELCIUS By not complaining about everything it’s a free game just enjoy it
I think that Apex legends is no longer looking for new players, it is only looking for new ways to make money. Literally the same thing that Riot games does
They've mentioned that they're trying to broaden and expand beyond Battle Royale and be more appealing to new players, but the money-grab motives say otherwise lol
It's EA what does anyone expect?
@@RossTheeSquirrel I’ll believe it when they fix match making once I get a win they put me in matches with preds and masters stack I’ve been in unranked every since s3
If they were looking for ways to make money they would treat you like a cod retard and charge you $100 twice a year for a new game that will be broken 99% of its lifecycle. It’s a free game with less COD purchases and IS NOT pay to win (unless you cheat obv) so apex is solid on this point. Theres nothing you NEED in apex stores, only want.
This game has never felt more boring. Even bringing back solos couldn’t get me excited. I’ll be taking a break for a bit.
With the cheaters and the thirst for money they are not making good decisions when it comes to the game.
@@ChickenLT1agreed
@@ChickenLT1Now if all of the sudden ends up like battlefield 2042 you know we're screwed (EA product)
Same, i took a break in the Rampart Season because they force me to do it (the servers were horrible), i returned in season 8, but right now i took another break, there's nothing new, same events, the changes of the maps are always the same, they just put the same buildings, and every event is just to sell skins...
i hate EA
EA is gonna cause WWIII
The cheating is next level, even on console. Sbmm/eomm needs to be removed in pubs, tickrate server needs to be addressed. A game should not be this stressful to play. I know that eomm is supposed to retain players playing the game, but i find that i turn off the game frequently after being beaten up like a pinata by preds/cheaters all night. Sad to see the state of the game.
I feel like since this is a filler season, it’s going to do the same thing to player counts. Next season is full of content so just wait. But they need to do some about cheaters
Tf you mean "filler season" there's a whole new legend.
@@THERIDDLER70000 Disrict was supposed to come out this season and also an Akimbo feature to pistols which you could dual wield. That all got pushed back to next season. This season beginning was very good but all we are getting this season is one collection event.
Entirely hackers. Its ruining the game. On top of that we need rank protection so high rank players go back to high ranks faster. I'm not great at the game, I'm hard stuck gold. And I'm still running into masters in silver and gold at the very end of the split
so lucky im on console. Havent met any cheaters yet, even in my sweaty ahh lobbies
@@calitoosh45 luck, that's all it is. I'm like a below average - average player and I run into them all the time. I also spectate pretty often so that could be it too
for me there are basically no hackers in gold, the hackers are up in diamond, masters, plat, apex predator
The masters you are running into are season 17 masters that are actually silver or gold at best.
Thats the only season i made it to masters and im a platinum player.
same
Matchmaking needs to be fixed. I started playing since Season 1. Still enjoy playing the game, Mirage needs a prestige skin 💯
The biggest problem this game has had since day 1 is lack of content. IDK if its EA not putting enough resources into the game or the game engine being so old that it takes forever to individualy add new content into the game without breaking the game.
It's crazy, but in EAs scramble to make more money, its actually just preventing itself from doing so. I mean: The over priced skins and how sub-par most even look; the cheaters; the constant inbalance of legends and guns; ranks loosing all meaning and value; etc.
I enjoy this game, I honestly don't want to see it die, but EA's greed and lack of understanding of what their customers want, will cause any and all potential income to run dry quickly.
Welcome to an EA published game :(
Seems respawn is spread pretty thin by this point, the studio is making multiple games... Right?
What's about the constant inbalance of legends and guns exactly? This is one of the most balanced game legends and weapon wise, what do you exactly expect? There will be a meta in every game by definition, thie does not mean game is unbalanced
Apex is going to have to stop catering to content creators and actually fix the cheating problem
Apex has been dying
for what reasons do you think?
"ApEx HaS bEeN dYinG bEcAuSe Im BaD" there fixed your comment for you
Apex aint dying this player count/dropoff is based on pc players on steam. Lets see the actual numbers across the board.
@@brandondean5680 😂😂fax
@@brandondean5680 yes I’m trash but constantly being qeud up against master ranks and high level players just makes it more frustrating to play I lose atleast 20 matches before I get atleast 1 one win that’s crazy it’s not just being a bad players the problem it’s just that the game isn’t fun anymore less be honest
They should remove the split forever. Bringing it back is a bad idea since this game derank everyone so the ranked can be very frustrating to play due to the high chance pros and tryhards will be in the same lobby for most of the time during the first few weeks of the split.
Yeah the split thing is terrible
People cried about splits being gone when they hit pred in a week or two🤷♂️. This community always cries an complains like women do
@@brandondean5680 The only reason why preds whine about the removal of split is because they don't want to always keep competing for pred spot all season without a save point. The removal of split helps lower rank players climb easier but causes stress to preds. Respawn should have made it so that after the first half of the season everyone rank progression will be recorded so when the season resets players will be given rewards based on the highest rank recorded and there will be no derank for every non pred but only reset the score of master or above to start at 0 points in master.
For consoles like ps4, etc... it takes up too much space.
Game needs to die for the company to either learn from the mistake, or ea just being ea will jump to another game once its dead
2100 hours and not playing as much these days because:
1) Cheaters
2) Matchmaking is broken (tired of being fodder for preds in pubs)
3) Macro transactions (cosmetics are not worth the price)
There's no point in complaining since EA refuses to listen, so people are quietly quitting and moving onto greener pastures.
I've been having more fun in Honkai Star Rail personally
Shit been dead.. the game is literally trash.
Then do something about it. Challenge yourself or a friend. In season 20 i challenged myself to beat my previous best season and i succeeded, it was fun. This season i got 2 friends to challenge each other to see who can get the most kills in a season.
One is definitely better than the other so I'm secretly helping the underdog farm kills to keep up. Shh, don't out me 🤫
Sad but I stopped playing cuz of sbmm,ik it's always a hot topic but I just can't tolerate this season,my enemies are near my skill lvl but my teammates are guys who just completed orientation matches and this annoyed me a lot
I'm bored. I get on and play 2 games then I log off. I used to play this game for 6 hours straight.
I have a feeling they are relying on AI to predict future business models. But the problem is even if they’re 99% accurate. That 1% variability can make or break a game.
Olympus back and I will be back
Stopped playing when they added Seer. Having a bloodhound and seer in every lobby was a nightmare. I've tried to get back in but the game has changed a lot from what I was used to. This is just preference and I'm probably in the minority.
I for sure agree with all this I was in a ranked match one day and I was fighting an octane seems normal right? Well he wasn’t even aimboting or using wall hacks HE WAS FLYING was floating everywhere it was awful 🤣 they really do need to fix the game in some way I hope they add I new map this next coming season I just feel like they are getting left in the dust with all these other game options oh well I still play it but not to much as I used to 😭😭
Solos Duos and Trios would be great but implementing true crossplay with PC and console is a terrible idea. You glossed over the fact that *some* console players have access to 120fps and those that do have reduced aim assist, thus evening out the console playerbase. Mixing this with PC is just a terrible idea. Almost all console players would get obliterated against someone who has 300+ fps and a whole arm to aim for long distance and have better movement for close range. So, nope nope nope. Bad idea
Well Respawn rewards the hackers and punishes the legit players, the more money you spedn the easier lobbies you get, if you hack you enjoy the game if you don't you will only fave stress, i stopped playing because most of the time i was angry and stressed trying to stay next to the cheaters, and nod having fun, that's wasted time,
"What is causing this ?"
Litterally every new player on apex on their first match after the orientation:
- Matched with smurfs, preds, 4k, 20 kills players and some content creators abusing the matchmaking to make frag clips. We can say what we want about Overwatch 2, but blizzard was smart enough to put at least a Phone number requirement to even play the game to prevent sweaty tryhards to build an army of smurfs.
What keeps a game alive is the constant renewal of the playerbase.
I brought a lot of friends on Apex during the last few years. Most of them never played an FPS before and couldn't stand a chance against some solo 20 frags, octane movement player abusing neostrafe.
Even tho SBMM is trash, as older player remember a time when u had to go trough pain to get better... nowadays the skill gap between a newcommer and a 2000h player, ils monstruous.
my match making is crazzy. my kd this season is .7, and i am matching ppl with algs badges .... like on what planet does that retain players.
see, i have a 2.0 kd with 2k hours and im getting matched with level 50 players who get downed if the enemy watches them funny,truly horrendous
i call it carry duty
@@chrisalpha2354 i am talking about the champ squad, not ppl on my team. just give you an idea of the type of players with algs badges. taxi2g is currently getting chitted on the challengers cirucuit. that guy is a pred every season ...
Dedicated list for mixtape/modes to choose from 💯
If XDefiant can do it, Apex can definitely do it.
Also yes I've never really noticed a hacker issue much until solos.. Seems weird to suddenly have such a spike in cheaters all of a sudden.
Hilarious to me that players drop the game en masse with duos being gone and having to play trios. As an OCE player with one friend on the game at a given time it is straight impossible to ever play that mode
RESPAWN an EA need to add in New Guns An new Attachments an old returning Attachments to the guns , an remove dead Slides from the game an bring back punch boosting an add in a (Playlist that grants you T.F2 Movement) and rewarded players when placing top 10, in every BR match free 10 apex packs.
They need to stop false banning players
Recolours , a million collection events dumb teammates(noobs/ragequitters) , Sticker packs , Universal heirloom , Lack Of Audio, Bad servers, Boring map updates , A million scan legends , Removal of dive trails and they destroyed Worlds Edge .. Too many games out there to worry about this shit
You forgot to mention aim assist, which is a significant topic in competitive gaming, particularly in the context of MNK players being outnumbered by rollers in ranked matches. This issue is prevalent where both cheating and aim assist are contentious topics. In contrast, playing PUBG might be preferable since cheating is the primary problem there, unlike ALGS, which faces both cheating and aim assist challenges.
I'd totally start playing again if they, ya know, gave me back my 2000+ hours of game progression. But they don't even have a way to report these bugs, so there's no way to get it fixed. Guess I'll just keep playing Titanfall 2 🤷
Doesn't suprise me at all..the game is poorly made. they only care about the money and skin sales. and on top of that they can BAN ANYONE WITHOUT REASON
GTA 6 is gonna be the death of this shitty game
Lmao how are they even related? Mac donald will be the death of Disney movies
The game has been dying for awhile. I don’t think the player count numbers were ever accurate, and it’s easy af to bloat player account numbers on steam with inactive bot accounts. The purpose of this would be to give the illusion that the game is healthy and popular.
I think EA has essentially given up on the game. Nobody I know even plays anymore, and I stopped playing around season 13, but still keep tabs. I noticed queue times started getting way longer and matchmaking really took a plunge around that time.
I recently tried to get into a solos match, and there was hardly anyone in queue, even on multiple servers. People on Steam and on Reddit have complained about the same thing.
Twitch views dropped off significantly as well. The game use to have hundreds of thousands of viewers, now hardly anyone still watches it.
It’s been dead, EA tried to hide that fact, now they’re sunsetting the game.
Use all ltm ...Winter Express.....hords moad in mix tape rade boss takedown. Pub maps with massave amounts of ai bots everyware and baddass troupers and wild life every poi...fun things population of wild things and tell us to clear map...something ..
No it's not
Apex has been fine. We came in as our trio in the new season and been smashing it up. Vibes have been good and I like the slower pace of apex. Biggest downfall of apex is they actually listen to moaning “content creators” and end up fucking ranked up or adding shit no one wants. It’s a free game made 1000000% better than your $100 cod, let them cook.
Apex was an unique BR for the speed it had, no game had that pace. Nowadays with the LP grind, its just like any other BR or the market. I think its boring camping and poking eachother till final zone....And it used to be so much fun back in the day.
The game is full of smurfs, cheaters and pred 3 stacks.. its just not fun..
The matchmaking and audio are horrible and EA doesn't care about Players but only about money. So yeah..
Im hoping that makes respawn fix the matchmaking,im a casual player and keep getting with best preds with 80k kills+
First descendants coming out julyy 2nd... RIP apex, 22 heirloom account and I dont even care about this game anymore. too many hackers, teamers, cheaters.. etc. hurt them in their wallets and watch how fast the game changes. good luck to those still addicted to mediocrity
They're more focused on making cosmetics than fixing the game and nerfing op characters *cough* *cough* rampart
Shit it will die If EA dosen't get off the neaks of Respawn and stop forceing these collection event and bs. And just allow them to fix the "core" issues of the game. Lord knows hideouts and his team is understaffed. I'm not ranting but this game is like the ugly ducking of the Titan fall franchise but now it just feels exhausting even after taking a three month break.
I honestly think they could turn things around with a few simple changes. The cheater issue will take a little more effort on their part but most other problems could be solved easily. I think they've become greedy now that Apex is as big as it is today so problems get ignored for lower margins and higher profits. It's not about the game anymore. For them its about the money. Unfortunate....
The game is just boring af and the matchmaking is just ass. They keep making these gimmicky legends that are usually just annoying to play against. The decisions they make is more on making money, disregarding the playerbase. They bring no new content. Season 1 to 9 was the golden age, then everything just fell off.
So much wrong with apex, the 20tick server, the matchmaking, lack of updates and when there are any its just another fucking collection event, nothing's really happening either, i hate to say this but i see apex living only for like 2 yeats max, and if it does, i hope titanfall comes back
I hope so
Yall are over exaggerating. So what the game has less players now. That happened like 10 times already and all these players came back. Apex is a game with a high skill standard so that’s why people tend to take a lot of breaks. Apex e sports has been growing a lot over the last few months, with a lot of orgs coming back into apex and EA also announced a World Cup. This game will continue to grow or have the stay the same but it will not die in the near future.
Solos would make more sense if there were no drop ship. Everyone has a preselected landing spot. The way it is now just doesn't make any sense. Another option is to have something like 2-4 dropships coming from opposite sides. Can't stand it the way it currently is.
Personally I would think that definitely stop putting hype on the katar cause I think a pencil would be a better heirloom than that and cheaters maybe prestige 2 because most cheaters would be dedicated if I was I would be dedicated if I want it that bad but this is just me I’ll let apex decide their next move cause as soon as I’m done with the battle pass im moving onto fallout and eventually bo6 but that’s my personal opinion on this situation and I think that the game is indeed getting a bit more boring especially because cheaters and sweats but yet again that’s just my lobby’s I think.
Apex be like:
New character: woman
New character: woman
New character: woman
New character: woman
Gaming in general is completely boring, I’ve been focusing on school 😂 anyways, 6 mans on console is my biggest issue. Unless I’m playing with my duo.
Apex is boring that’s why you run around the map half the time and it’s scamming so much but it’s just like valroant basically valroant only has 3.8 rating on steam but a higher player base when apex has better rating but bad player base but they scamming people and the updates they added has not been good and the game is boring
Yes
I feel like for apex besides cheaters they kept nerfing wraith until she was really weaker overall for other legends and tbh from there a lot of legends got nerfed I think that’s the bigger reason why it’s hard to play now because if you didn’t keep playing and you as the returning player has to choose do I want to return how much did they change from my character now it’s that major feeling. Not know what your character can really do because it’s been so long that’s kinda why it’s a bit surprising they should take player reaction a bit more seriously when it comes to character nerfs because that really shapes if a player wants to return or not I remember when they changed wraiths portal time now if you rift in a fun fight head on its instant death… Some things need to be left alone because if player count drops some of the changes made were the problem map changes for the most part at least to me didn’t matter because ability outweighs terrain but not if your abilities are being stripped… I love this game but it’s harder than ever to play
I think if they allowed consoles to plug in mnk it could help the players out on the pc lobby wait time and the aim assist debate. Duos should definitely make a return, should have never left to begin with. Cheaters are just gonna find another way around whatever they put out there trying to stop the current cheaters and hacks
My biggest problem with Apex Legends is the matchmaking. I am a Gold IV player and I can't play happily. In unranked games, I always get matched against Predator and Master players, and in ranked games, I face people much better than me.
I can't enjoy playing this game anymore. Over 300 matches this season and only 2 wins with a 0.7 K/D ratio.
0.7 is still quite average, mine this season is 0.5 and my overall kdr dropped from 1.2/1.0 to 0.7
@@altaica35220.7 is below average. The average is literally in the KDA if you are 1 you are average, less below average above above average.
Apex burns to ashes as its older brothers look on in disgust. Tf1 sheds a tear for another fallen brother but yet smiles at his end. Tf2 grins with happiness as he watches his evil counterpart fall as he once did, only hoping that his little brother feels the pain he endured. They both sit and watch as they wait for the day their unforgiving sibling falls so that their greatness can rise from his ashes.
The fact my noob friend caught a 20bomb badge and 4K badge thanks to solo and would never get it in a Normal mode is also cheap way to earn it now and makes the rarety less.
Dude deacribe every single season,at the beggining everybody is playing and having fun fornlike a month or so,then the game goes dry and we end up with no we get no new teasers for events,and nothing to do,thr amunt of cheaters and the lack of things to work for.
I play much less. EU Servers are now full of conroller players. None of my MNK friends play this game anymore.
know why gamer are left just because game for like 6 week with none new just try hard all day and of cores new skin and apex is worst state with hacker and anti cheat going nut ban random people (i got random ban but did to remove) in nutshell is hell now
2 years ago there were exactly the same videos with exactly the same message and with exactly the same “statistics” And somehow the apex is still not dead. Stop making trash clickbait videos that make no sense.
The problem is.. you guys play the same game every dayyyyy..
I play maybe 5 or 6 matches a day or every other day.. i either play another game or go outside.. lol if you stop playing every dayy all day.. youll get a new appreciation for it
Pls ross make a vidio adressing ban bug alot of people including myself have falsly banned and can still play on console but have banned on pc no email no ban hystory pls make a vidio so EA fix it
i think another reason apex is kinda dying is that it really isnt as fun as it used to be. season 3-7 was pike apex time, just cause it wasnt all about spending money but more just playing the game and having fun. also the feel of apex now days is just really different from old apex. im probably not the only one who misses old apex
Man oh man I was tuned in HEAVY come season 4…. You’re right, 4-7 was for sure the peak for me. I loved early Apex, and I even enjoyed it up until about season 12 ish. I just don’t play anymore it isn’t fun and broken moon is half the reason I stopped, what a god awful map. Nothing will hit the way kings canyon and worlds edge did, and I actually really had fun on Olympus. Both maps following that are trash and the fact that they just KEEP adding legends is wild to me. They just want money tho at this point.
@@WhatsTheDylBr0broken moon is one of the best maps right now
Skillbase is killing the same, im hard stuck gold im facing pred and master in my games.
Lack of content ea needs to add quads or something like that
eh apex players in the nintendo switch theres not enough players or not at all and theres hackers but cross platform theres an advatige and i personaly want moble back idk just wanna rant
In my opinion apart from the cheaters the battlepass plays a huge role in player retention and if you look at the battlepass there is not much in it worth the grind not to mention the cosmetics you might want can be unlocked in the first level of the battlepass
apex You shouldn't play if you just want to waste your time and money.
Yeah this soulless cash grab no content, and no community love needs to end.
Ea respawn has been failing for 7+ seasons
I actually quit because arena got removed and i think alot of people did i only came back to get ny first heirloom but once arena come back it will be real good
Pc cross play on console would be not very good cause I saw those sweaty pc players on how they move and aim I just want a peaceful match😢
its already dead. broken server, sucs crossplay, tons of cheater, hacked on algs bruh. more recolor skin pls
The worst matchmaking I’ve ever seen,
No duos and the game is full of cheaters!
Game is dead
Of course. Since they're remove rank dive trail, i've lost climb rank motive.
I doubt you younger gens know the true definition of a "dead game". A game is truly dead or dying when there's literally only a couple of hundred people playing the game total. That would mean that the PC version and the console version of the game would only have 200 active players in total for the game to be considered "dead".
Apex is a F2P game and because of that reason alone it will never "die" seeing as any one can literally download the game and play it for free.
I do agree except for the last part. Free games die too, look at quake champions
bro i just started playing the game i cant get into anything it says like "12 people in queue" or even sometimes less
Solo's is the best thing to come to apex since the train and 3strike, and Cheaters are what is kiiling the apex
It’s ea they used to be good but now they are bad now and money hungry they used to care about the games they made but now when they get a game so popular they are money hungry
also ive expirienced and seen alot of normal players being banned for no reason
Tried of battle royale style games having 1 life and having to start a new game over crap is annoying
controller has not been nerfed, cheaters using hard cheats or configs/macros also have ruined the game
Way less bvut its only cause i suck. The game is great its me that sucks
Solos is fun but Whorizon and the havoc ruins the fk out of it.
Sucks watching one of my favorite games of all time just falling flat on its face
I stopped playing around season 16. Its been absolutely dreadful
Level 100 is stupid as hell nobody wants to grind that shit i think level 30 is the sweet spot
Yes i played less. I play fornite now more i going get vbux now.
Cheating, there is your problem, this season was mega wild!
I cant play it anymore on my pc,got bored of it,it became a Kobalt Katar simulator
W takes. Adding in more modes and making true cross-platform would help a ton.
I actually enjoyed solos but its not worth it to try and compete with aimbot
Covid 19 is the main reason behind we lost interest in everything.
I think the duo is more fun than solo. And in duo, you can still solo.
That's good all the hackers are moving on to other games..
It is dying, to me at least. It’s been a boring season after season.
