Apex Legends Season 22 will bring tons of changes to the title such as an aim assist nerf and a Resurgence style mode on a new map called E-District. Naturally, this will have an impact on the player count, as more people look to test the new content.

If you’re looking to find out the player count in August 2024, here’s everything you need to know.

How many people are playing Apex Legends?

Apex Legends had 61,303,032 active players throughout the last 30 days, as of August 5, 2024. During this time, the game’s concurrent active players peaked at 16,551,819, as per ActivePlayer.io.

Steam player count in 2024

An average of 116,524 players played Apex Legends via Steam throughout the last 30 days from August 5, 2024. The peak daily player count for the same period was 259,356 as seen on Steam Charts.

This might not be close to the all-time Steam peak of 624,473 players in February 2023, but the game remains one of the most-played titles in the world.

Apex Legends peak monthly player count

The title had an impressive all-time peak of 67,393,496 monthly players in January 2024 but has struggled to improve on or stabilize its monthly player count since then.

However, leading up to Season 22, players have voiced their frustration with some of the changes making their way to the game. Many were not pleased with the new Battle Pass system, leading the devs to revert some proposed changes. It’ll be interesting to see how the update impacts the player count.

With competition at the start of the new season expected to be fierce, you’ll want to know how to find your perfect sensitivity and the best PC settings to maximize your performance in matches.
