Apex Legend is an instant hit title from Respawn Studios and EA. The game was not disclosed to the gaming community. We had no idea that such a game was in development.
Though with its surprise reveal and release, Apex Legends sure caught the eyes of gamers and the online media, the game is also doing quite well as it managed to get a player count of 2.4 million in the first 24 hours of the initial launch.
EA as a corporation has always cared for his profit, we have already seen the scenario of microtransactions regarding EA games. EA is very cautious regarding its games, they do everything in order to increase the sales and earn a profit.
In EA's case usually, a game gets advertised everywhere before its launch. There are several promotions for a game before launch.
Though this time EA agreed with Respawn Studio's decision which will prove to be profitable only if it gains a huge player count as the game is free to play and microtransactions are the only direct way to earn money and make a profit.
