Apex Legends Mobile, the popular battle royale from Electronic Arts (EA), made its debut on Android and iOS on May 17. Within only a week of its release, the game has already brought in $4.8 million, as per mobile data tracking firm SensorTower. On iOS, Apex Legends Mobile went on to become the most downloaded game in over 60 countries, including India, within just two days of release. Apex Legends Mobile looks to take on other battle royale titles such as Battlegrounds Mobile India, Call of Duty Mobile, and others.
While Apex Legends Mobile collected $4.8 million in first-week revenue, it’s nowhere close to Call of Duty Mobile’s first-week collection of $14.8 million, back when the game was launched in 2019. However, Apex Legends Mobile did manage to perform considerably better than PUBG Mobile, which collected only $600,000 in its first week when the game was launched in 2018.

Apex Legends’ PC/console version, on the other hand, has collected over $2 billion since its release in February 2019, as per EA’s latest quarterly earnings report. Judging by the first-week collection, it can safely be speculated that Apex Legends Mobile may eventually surpass its PC/console variants in terms of revenue from player purchases soon.
