Apex Legends shatters its own player peak on Steam during record-setting season 14 launch

Apex Legends’ season 14 launch wasn’t exactly perfect, with Origin players initially struggling to download the season update, some momentary server stutters, and at least one new bug that switched character abilities between teammates. There were also some split opinions on the game’s newest character, Vantage, as well as changes to ranked and Kings Canyon.

One thing that wasn’t in question? The new season’s popularity with players. Despite launching in 2019 and adding support for players on Steam almost three years ago, Apex continues to set records for itself. This included the season 14 launch, which spurred the game to hit its highest ever concurrent player peak on Steam.
