Apex Legends fans claim it is \u201cbleeding\u201d players as player count keeps dropping EAApex Legends is seemingly \u201cbleeding\u201d players as the battle royale has dropped a few places on Steam\u2019s most-played games charts. Over the last 12 months, Apex Legends\u2019 player count has taken a hit at times for a few different reasons. Players have been annoyed with cheaters running wild, legends being undercooked, server problems, and a few other things. However, prior to the start of season 22, they started rebelling against Respawn Entertainment\u2019s decision to add a Premium+ tier to the battle pass. Initially, the new part of the battle pass could only be purchased with real-world money and not Apex Coins. This has since been reverted. On top of that, the battle royale has suffered with another influx of cheaters, and together, the two problems has seen the game\u2019s player count fall off. \u201cThe game hasn\u2019t seen a lower average player month since January of 202,\u201d Redditor Kaateiku said, pointing out that the battle royale had slipped out of Steam\u2019s top 10 most-played games on July 28 for a period. \u201cGame is bleeding players,\u201d another player added. \u201cDamn, PUBG has higher playercount than Apex now. Feels like 2019 again lmao,\u201d another player pointed out. \u201cWith what they\u2019ve been demonstrating, the game will continue to lose players unfortunately,\u201d commented another. Others argued that the falloff wasn\u2019t as harsh as some players had made out. \u201cYou took a screenshot when Apex is historically at its lowest every day, while ignoring when it\u2019s its peak. It was at 220k earlier today. It hits its peak around 07:00 and hits its lowest around 19:00,\u201d one player argued. As per SteamCharts, the battle royale\u2019s average player count is at its lowest point since Season 11, with that average dropping by nearly 30,000 players in the last month alone. That is, obviously, just the Steam count and doesn\u2019t account for Xbox, PlayStation, or EA Origin. Respawn have promised to tackle the cheating problems and pledged to \u201cget better\u201d when it comes to talking about big changes like the battle pass overhuall. So, maybe they\u2019ll win back some of those players.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
