EA Reports Apex Legends Lifetime Revenue Is $3.4B
Electronic Arts reported their latest quarterly earnings today and inside the release the company mentioned that lifetime revenue for Apex Legends since its February 2019 release is $3.4B, which makes it one of the most successful games of all time. Just to put this number in context, RuneScape's lifetime revenue over its 23 year history is only $1.5 billion!
Technically speaking this is 'lifetime bookings', not revenue, but the difference is an accounting matter. When someone buys $10 worth of Apex Coins, EA records $10 in 'bookings'. When that person spends the Apex Coins on a skin, then they record it as revenue.
Apex Legends remains the single most important game for Electronic Arts. Despite its recent slowdown, it remains incredibly popular with over 300,000+ concurrent players daily.
