Apex Legends’ Steam player count drops in wake of ALGS hacking scare

Hacking wreaked havoc on Apex Legends Global Series action over the weekend, and it’s potentially scaring players away from logging into the battle royale.

Since Apex Legends Season 20 started in February, the player count on Steam increased 27 percent from the previous month and reached its highest total peak since June 2023 at 469,000 players according to data provided by Steam Charts. Player count has generally hovered between 420,000 and 460,000 concurrent users, but over the past 24 hours that number dropped to around 370,000. The big decrease in player count coincidentally corresponds with the hacking scare that happened on March 17.
