Apex Legends – a brand new, free-to-play battle royale game – is already one of the world's most popular titles. The game has more than a million players just hours after it has launched, and has quickly become the most popular game on streaming service Twitch. The Xbox, PlayStation and PC title is a spin-off from popular series Titanfall, but appeared slightly by surprise overnight. Already, however, it has been the subject of a vast marketing campaign as well as discussion by influencers, which have led to people pouring into the game. The game can be downloaded now over the Origins store for PC, as well as on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One.
