How these estimates are made

Apex Legends

We estimate that about 1,100,000 people play Apex Legends on a typical day (most likely between 770,000 and 1,500,000), based on data from Nov 9, 2026. Around 17,000,000 accounts (between 13,000,000 and 22,000,000) have played it at some point. It is anchored on Steam’s official concurrent-player count, converted to daily players, so players on other launchers or consoles may not be fully counted. Confidence: medium — Steam covers part of the player base, or several community signals agree.

AQ First Contact

We estimate that about 34 people play AQ First Contact on a typical day (most likely between 8 and 100), based on data from Nov 9, 2026. Around 12,000 accounts (between 4,300 and 29,000) have played it at some point. AQ First Contact publishes no Steam player data, so the estimate is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: low — a community-size model, not a measurement.
