Multiplayer shooter Apex Legends has just hit 70 million players worldwide. The battle royale has grown steadily since launching in February of this year, having cooled slightly after an intense first couple of months.
The game takes place in the same universe as the Titanfall series. Respawn's last game before Apex was Titanfall 2, which was critically well-received and did well enough sales wise. A third Titanfall was in development when EA acquired the studio in 2017, but the current status of that is unknown since the team's entire focus has shifted to this.
Apex Legends was revealed to be coming to Steam as part of EA's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order leading the charge on November 15.
