Apex Legends has released its biggest update to date. The popular battle royale premiered its season 9 "Legacy" yesterday and its start has generated all kinds of reactions.
If a few weeks ago we presented you with a first preview of the Apex Legends Legacy season, this has finally reached consoles and PC to offer the Arenas mode, to the Valkyrie legend and all other changes and news announced previously. Its launch has been one of the best that is remembered within the game.
Apex Legends, more than two years after its release, has set your maximum number of concurrent players on Steam. Legacy has had a profound impact on the title of Respawn, which has added more than 313.000 simultaneous players a few hours ago (via SteamDB). Historical figure that, unfortunately, has been accompanied by some problems.
The launch of a new season always attracts a few more players, driven by the curiosity that the new generates. Legacy promised and has not disappointed. The large number reached only takes into account PC gamers. If we add PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch the result has been a lots of problems with servers.
Apex Legends crashed yesterday afternoon due to the influx of players and Respawn took a few hours to to be able to solve the massive reports of errors that were occurring. Many players could not access the different menus of the game and this showed errors even in the loading of textures of the characters.
