Apex Legends season 14 is off to a roaring start, with new content pushing the FPS game to an all-time high Steam player count of over half a million concurrent players. New character Vantage leads up the charge with her adorable bat companion, Echo, and players have been flocking to try her out on the reworked Kings Canyon map in the battle royale game.
The SteamDB records for Apex Legends show that it reached a peak concurrent player count of 511,676 players on August 10, one day after the launch of Hunted, the game’s fourteenth season. Along with Vantage, the new season also includes a much-anticipated increase to the Apex Legends level cap, as well as some major changes to the Kings Canyon map.
It also brings an end to one of the game’s longest-lasting features, the gold self-revive knockdown shield, which has been removed from the game entirely. This means an end to self-revive in Apex Legends, meaning that you’ll no longer be able to pull out those clutch solo moments after getting yourself back up from an unfortunate knockdown.
