Apex Legends, the free-to-play Battle Royale game released by Respawn Entertainment earlier this week, is off to a strong start. During yesterday’s post-earnings conference call, Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson discussed the recent launch. Apparently, the game already pulled in over two and a half million unique users in the first twenty-four hours, but EA is hoping to massively grow the player base over time, potentially up to hundreds of millions. This would happen through cross-play and releasing on additional platforms such as mobile, clearly following in the footsteps of Fortnite.

Wilson also commended the marketing team for how the game’s reveal was handled.
