The first installment of the Twitch Rivals Apex Legends Challenge was monumental for the growth of the new battle royale game. It saw hundreds of thousands of spectators tuning in to watch some of the biggest streamers on Twitchāand as a result, the game has prospered.
Apex is the battle royale title that everyoneās talking about. After just a month, the game reached 50 million downloads, earning the title of the fastest growing free-to-play game in history. It even beat League of Legends and Fortniteāand for good reason, too. Itās fun, it’s fast-paced, and it’s free. What more could you ask for?
To celebrate the success of the game, Twitch has gone out of its way to bring us yet another Twitch Rivals event. This time, Apex will be at the forefront, and the finals will be live at TwitchCon in Berlin, Germany.
The event will be split into sections and feature a host of popular streamers, pros, and personalities.
