About Apex Legends
Apex Legends launched in 2019 with no advance marketing at all, reaching fifty million players in its first month. It is free to play and funded by cosmetic purchases, the model that now dominates competitive online shooters. It is set in the same fictional universe as Titanfall, a series by the same studio, which Electronic Arts acquired when it bought Respawn Entertainment in 2017.
