Apex Legends’ Season 5 has the highest level of per-play engagement seen to date, the highest daily retention of any season and the largest number of new players since Season 1. When Apex Legends launches on Steam and Switch with cross-play support later this year, the game will welcome even more new players to the battle.
During EA Play Live, the team at Respawn also unveiled that the Lost Treasures Collection Event will start on 23 June. The event features a new mode, limited time exclusives and a new Town Takeover — Crypto’s Map Room. Players can see the return of the game’s sniper and shotgun only mode – Armed and Dangerous – with a few twists such as Evo Armor and an all-new piece of loot, Mobile Respawn Beacons.
The Sims 4
The Sims, created by Maxis, has always empowered players to express themselves through the Sims they create, the stories they tell, and the worlds they design. The Sims 4 plus all its post-launch packs are now available to even more players via Steam.
The life simulation game has seen more than 2.5 million new players join the community in the past two months and has also seen a peak high of nearly 10 million playing the game monthly in the past quarter. The team has been humbled that the game has served as a source of great fun and joy for so many players, who are celebrating life’s biggest moments with their loved ones virtually, recreating their friends and family, and special events like birthdays, graduations, and weddings.
More Games; More Platforms
This year, players can expect to see more EA on more platforms. Joining the critically acclaimed titles Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Command & Conquer Remastered Collection are dozens of other titles such as The Sims 4, Titanfall 2, A Way Out and Dead Space 3 which are also available today.
