Apex Legends recently received the Season 22 update which managed to pull back a large number of players. The developers did bring a lot of changes to the overall gameplay experience and introduced a new Battle Pass system. The use of Apex Coins to buy a variant of the Battle Pass was brought back after receiving valuable player feedback through social media platforms like Reddit and X.

The game had a peak player count of 624,473 in February 2023 but saw a significant decline shortly after. This trend continued and dipped to a count of 265,694 in July 2024, which is when the devs announced the first version of the upcoming changes in Season 22.

This article will highlight the Apex Legends player count in August 2024.

The game is available for the community to play on consoles and through EA’s game client. So the actual number of players in the game will likely be much higher than the aforementioned numbers.

The release of a new season seems to have boosted the player count as the community is excited to see all the changes alongside exclusive cosmetics. Moreover, the devs are reportedly going to bring in a fresh collection event with new skins for both the existing characters and weapons.

Is the player count for Apex Legends going down?

Steam is currently the only source that can be used to gauge the player count numbers. It cannot be directly determined if EA’s battle royale is losing players with every passing seasonal update.

That said, the game had an average player count of around 167,400 in May 2024. The numbers dipped to approximately 139,700 in June 2024, and 116,700 in July 2024. This downward dive could potentially become a trend that continues but the release of the latest seasonal update might increase these numbers. However, that can only be determined by taking a look at the average player count in August 2024 - after the month ends.
