Apex Legends reaches 20-month Steam high, proving Respawn's communication is paying off

I still vividly remember the launch of Apex Legends back in February 2019, when developer Respawn Entertainment dropped it basically out of nowhere. Rumors of a Titanfall-related battle royale game had been swirling for a while, but it still managed to cross the finish line mostly unscathed, save from some last-minute chatter out of preview events. Fast forward to today, and Apex Legends still sits in the top five most-played Steam games. In fact, after a couple of years of slight stagnation, it's actually trending upwards again.
