Apex Legends has been out for over a week now and it has been a massive success. How big you ask? Well, how about 25 million players and 2 million concurrent sessions? Yeah, that big.
With the first seasonal event around the corner, Respawn Entertainment will be rolling out Apex Legends updates and patches pretty fast for the game while buffing weapons, adding features and of course leaving Mozambique because clearly nothing is wrong with it (not really).
