After surpassing one million players in just eight hours, which is faster than Fortnite: Battle\u00a0Royale reached that mark, Apex\u00a0Legends hit over 10 million players in three days, according to a message from Respawn's Vince Zampella. Zampella also revealed that Apex\u00a0Legends already has one million concurrent players. \"This has been a truly incredible journey,\" Zampella said. \"We tested and tweaked. We argued and agreed. We got to a point where we felt some magic. We knew it would be risky to take the franchise in this direction, to go free to play, and do a surprise launch. But we fell in love with Apex Legends and wanted, needed, other people to play it too.\" Related: How to watch the Twitch Rivals Apex Legends Challenge Reaching 10 million players in 72 hours is an impressive feat that shows how quickly the gaming community has taken to Apex\u00a0Legends. And with a big tournament, the Twitch Rivals Apex\u00a0Legends Challenge, already planned for next week, the hype surrounding this battle royale game could continue to grow. \"We hoped you\u2019d love it as much as us, but never in our wildest dreams could we have expected the outpouring of support and positivity we\u2019ve seen,\" Zampella said. \"From all of us at Respawn, thank you for giving us and Apex Legends a chance.
