Apex Legends breaks into Steam's top five most-played games
It has been a whirlwind month for Apex Legends. Respawn's hit FPS game celebrated its second anniversary in style, ending February with 50,000 more concurrent players on Steam than it had at the beginning of the month. It also broke its peak player record over the weekend, with Steam Charts registering a high of 196,799 players on February 27. With this, the game has surpassed Team Fortress 2 and Grand Theft Auto V to sit in the top five most-played games on the platform.
With the launch of Season 8: Mayhem, many have evidently found themselves enticed to either try out, or return to the free-to-play shooter. The game itself has continued to evolve since its launch, with Respawn eager to keep the experience fresh. Over the last couple of years we have seen maps come, go, and even return with major changes. Meanwhile, the game's roster of legends has doubled since launch, with each new character providing a slew of unique abilities.
Speaking to The Loadout in a previous interview, concept art director Steve Ferreira even says the studio prefers to release a new legend on the stronger side in the hopes that it "has a big splash and really shakes things up in the meta." Such are the lengths Respawn goes to in order to ensure no two seasons are the same.

The best Apex Legends team in the world explains why it split from its org
Made in Thailand Esports (known as MiTH) yesterday announced the release of its Apex Legends roster. Teerachock 'Killoposz' Muedin, Lertpong 'Dexter' Nakurai, and Sinchai 'Chambers' Sotsiao are currently the squad with the most Apex Legends Global Series points in the world, with a cumulative 37,555 points between the three players.
The move comes just a month after the last player of MiTH Team 2, the organisation's second Apex Legends roster, Patimakron 'apexSQL' Mechai, retired from competitive Apex Legends and the team disbanded. MiTH kept apexSQL on its books as a streamer. Similarly, Jirayut 'Z1CKKY' Apiwongngam, who was the substitute player for MiTH's first team, is being kept on as a streamer.
Killoposz confirms to The Loadout that the release was the players' decision, telling us that they "want to try new experiences". He also confirms that he, Dexter, and Chambers are currently free agents and looking for a team - and will compete orgless in the Winter Circuit 3.
