Apex Legends Mobile Was The Most Downloaded iOS Game In 60 Countries Last Week Respawn Entertainment's first foray into the world of mobile gaming has exceeded expectations--and now it's breaking records. According to a recent report by PocketGamer, the mobile version of Respawn's popular battle royale, Apex Legends, has become the most-downloaded iOS game in 60 countries in the six days since its May 17 launch. Those countries include the US, the UK, Japan, Germany, India, and more. Apex Legends Mobile is also in the top 10 most-downloaded games in the App Store in 89 countries. Just days after the announcement that the original version of the game had surpassed $2 billion in revenue in the three years since its release, the mobile version of Apex Legends has unseated long-time mobile gaming juggernauts like the highly-popular Battlegrounds Mobile India, taking their spots at the top of the mobile gaming food chain. The game's popularity isn't surprising, as the console/PC version of the game has enjoyed sustained popularity since its release in February 2019. But the speed with which it has amassed its enormous playerbase is quite impressive. By launch day, over 15 million players had pre-registered for the game, in part due to Respawn Entertainment's pre-launch promotion, which advertised a series of prizes that would be unlocked for each pre-registered player, with rewards based on the total number of players who had pre-registered by launch day. source: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/apex-legends-mobile-was-the-most-downloaded-ios-game-in-60-countries-last-week/1100-6503734/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/masseffect/support
