Okay, so I wanted to see how many people are still playing Apex Legends these days. I love the game, but sometimes it feels like the lobbies take a while to fill up. So, I did a little digging.
My Quest for Player Counts
First, I tried to find official numbers from Respawn or EA. You know, the actual developers. But, surprise, surprise, they don’t really share that info publicly. It’s like a big secret or something.

So, plan B. I started googling around. I typed in things like “Apex Legends active players” and “Apex Legends player count 2024”. You know, the usual stuff.
The Unofficial Sources
- I found some websites that track this kind of thing, but you never really know how accurate they are.
- One site said there were millions of players, which is a massive number.
- Then some reddit posts said that matchmaking has gotten very long, and that is due to not enough players.
It is quite confusing.
My Takeaway
Honestly, it’s hard to say exactly how many people are playing Apex right now. I couldn’t get a real, concrete number. I guess it changes all the time, depending on the time of day, the day of the week, and probably even the season.
But from what I can tell, there are still a lot of people playing. My games usually start pretty quickly, so that’s a good sign.
