Summary
A recent survey indicates that EA could be planning to add a monthly subscription toApex Legends. Other popular live service games such asFortnitealready have a monthly subscription service, so it’s not surprising that EA is considering this option forApex Legends.
Developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by EA,Apex Legendswas released in 2019. The popular battle royale hero shooter is set in the same universe as theTitanfallfranchise, and it quickly became a big hit.Apex Legendsis widely recognized asone of the best EA games, and according to Statista, it currently has over 170 million registered users, with a sizable chunk of them still playing every month.
Insider Gamingspotted a new survey that indicates thatApex Legendscould introduce a monthly subscription service soon. This survey, which was sent to multipleApex Legendsplayers, asks whether the fanbase would be interested in a “monthly subscription” that could give special rewards and in-game currency. This service could likelywork similarly to Fortnite Crew, which was started in 2020. By paying $11.99 monthly,Fortniteplayers gain access to an exclusive cosmetic pack,Fortnite’s Premium Battle Pass, and some V-Bucks, as well as occasional additional rewards.
EA Could be Planning a Monthly Subscription for Apex Legends
Considering thatApex Legendshas a strong user base, this could be a way for EA to maximize its profits with the popular hero shooter. In any case, while the subscription service is definitely being considered by EA, it was not confirmed at the time of this report. Also, it’s unclear what exactly it could offer to gamers, although in-game currency and exclusive cosmetics are the most likely picks.
It’s not surprising to see EA trying to monetizeApex Legendseven more. Earlier this year, EA revealed thatApex Legendshas earned over $3.4 billionsince its release. However, the company also acknowledged that it had failed to hit monetization goals earlier this year, which could explain the push to get more cash fromApex Legendsplayers.
Apex Legendshas recently started its Season 23, which brought many changes to the game. In a push to cater to old-school players, the new season stripped away some of the game’s most complex elements, focusing on the core gameplay with new game modes like Launch Royale. In a similar vein, the new season did not bring any new Legends, but it reworked Lifeline, one of the original characters of the game.
