Apex Legends, which launched its collaboration content with Gundam in early March, continues to see positive effects even after the event concluded. It reached a peak of 300,000 concurrent players for the first time in six seasons since Season 22, and has maintained figures in the 200,000 range since then.

The concurrent player count for Apex Legends had been on a steady decline since Season 17. A major overhaul of the ranking system at the time led to inflation in Master rank and above, and a shift in the game's meta resulted in the concurrent player count falling below the 500,000 mark. Despite subsequent efforts to revamp the ranking system, the downward trend could not be halted, with numbers dropping to 150,000 by Season 23 and remaining in the high 100,000s by the end of Season 27.

The game seemed to struggle at the start of Season 28, but the tide turned after the announcement of the Gundam collaboration in early March. The event content was diverse, featuring 8 legend skins, weapon skins, a revamp of the Broken Moon map, and the release of physical model kit products. Following the announcement, the peak concurrent player count surpassed 200,000, increasing to 260,000 on the day the event began. The upward trend continued until the end of the Gundam event, reaching 300,000 on the weekend of the 12th.

Even after the event ended, the developers have been working on balance adjustments through patches and introducing the new Wild Card mode. Perhaps due to this, the concurrent player count on Steam has remained in the 200,000 range for two weeks. Since the roadmap revealed in February stated that the team would focus on adding new legends and stabilizing the game over the remaining four seasons until early 2027, it remains to be seen whether this positive atmosphere will continue.

Meanwhile, in the global top sellers list, the new title 'Global Rescue' has climbed to 7th place, drawing attention. It is a simulation game where you manage fire, police, and rescue teams, and it is currently recording 'Very Positive' early user reviews. Rust, which began a discount alongside the Eastern Game Fest, took 6th place.
