Apex Legends Season 24.1 Attracts Players Back ๐ฅ
Many in the Apex Legends community are calling Season 24.1 a game-changer, with streamers and players alike praising the update for revitalizing the battle royale experience.

- Sweet, a pro player, went so far as to call the patch notes โone of the best in the history of the game.โ ๐โญ
After a rough start to the year with a declining player count, Season 24 has brought a much-needed boost in player engagement. In February, the game saw a 36.7% increase in average players, reaching 95,100 players, with that momentum continuing into March. ๐๐
The Future of Apex Legends ๐ง
While Season 24.1 has certainly helped restore faith in the game, some pros like Sweet remain skeptical about the future of the Apex Legends Global Series (ALGS). He predicted that if the pro scene continues to trend in its current direction, ALGS might be โdead by 2026.โ ๐๐
However, for now, Season 24.1 has brought back the spark many were hoping for, showing that Apex Legends still has plenty of life left and could be heading for an exciting future. ๐ฅ
