Apex Legends is struggling. Recent issues like rampant cheating, persistent bugs, and an unpopular new battle pass have contributed to a significant decline in concurrent players, mirroring the stagnation Overwatch once experienced.

The game's player count has been steadily dropping, reaching levels last seen at launch. This downward trend is evident in peak online player statistics.

Players are demanding decisive action and substantial new content from Respawn Entertainment, or risk further player exodus. The developers face a serious challenge.
