According to EA, the free-to-play Apex Legends game has surpassed $2 billion in net pre-orders since its February 2019 release.
EA Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Chris Suh said Apex Legends’ net bookings increased by 40% in fiscal 2022. About half of Apex Legends’ net pre-order value ($1 billion) was earned during EA’s fiscal 2022 (ending March 31, 2022).
A year ago, former CFO Blake Jorgensen said that Apex Legends would have grossed more than $600 million in fiscal 2021.
In April 2021, Respawn confirmed that Apex Legends reached the milestone of 100 million global players. In a recent earnings report, Suh called the just-concluded Season 12 of Apex Legends the most successful season the game has ever seen.
