New Twitch Data Shows 'Apex Legends' Is Declining Quickly
According to the latest streaming industry report from Stream Elements, Apex Legend's Twitch views have been on a very steady and sharp decline recently. Meanwhile, Fortnite has been very steady, and now almost doubles Apex Legends in average Twitch viewership. In other words, the game once tapped by some to finally kill Fortnite, isn't doing a very good job at hurting Fortnite, let alone killing it.
When Apex Legends launch, its streaming numbers were considerably above Fortnite, but this was because it was new and because EA was paying a pretty penny for the biggest streamers to play it. Now, the honeymoon period is over, and it's no longer looking like a serious Fornite rival. It's still a big game and doing well, but its peak is fading in the rearview mirror.
So, the question now is: can Apex Legends recover? For sure. A lot of people have it downloaded. It's just a matter of getting people interested in the game again. And there's a lot of ways you can do this, but the window is closing, and Respawn Entertainment needs to start supporting the game a lot quicker. That said, the chance to dethrone Fortnite is probably over, if there was ever a chance to begin with.
Apex Legends is available, for free, via the PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

They had so much potential but the lack of content and not making changes so many people asked for really hit them hard. Sucks because the game was so much fun.

The run was good while it lasted, but a multitude of issues contributed to their downfall.

They cant compete with fortnite when it comes to the amount of content being released and they arent holding their playerbase due to the lack of fixing issues. this isnt surprising at all.
