So far, EA says more than 10 million people have played Apex Legends so far since it launched. "We hoped you'd love it as much as us, but never in our wildest dreams could we have expected the outpouring of support and positivity we've seen," wrote Vince Zampella, head of EA's Respawn Entertainment division, which made the popular Titanfall shooting game series and its spioff Apex Legends. "We tested and tweaked. We argued and agreed. We got to a point where we felt some magic."

In the meantime, while few official reviews have been released, gamers online have been positive. PG Gamer said the game was "the break from Fortnight I desperately needed." GamesRadar said it was "immaculate" and expects it to get better. And CNET sister site GameSpot said it liked the company's twist on the genre, encouraging people to work in teams in their effort to win each battle royal match.
