Selvom markedet for battle royale-spil tilsyneladende er gigantisk, og dækker over hundredevis af millioner af spillere verden over, så er det naturligvis begrænset, og det betyder at man godt kunne overtales til at tro, at Apex Legends har taget spillere fra Fortnite. Sådan forholder det sig dog ikke, hvis altså man spørger Epic Games.
I et interview med VentureBeat fortæller Epic Games' CEO Tim Sweeney, at de faktisk ikke har kunne se på tallene at Apex Legends er kommet til. Han mener desuden at de to spil kan eksistere i harmoni samtidig.
"We hit a Fortnite non-event peak twice after Apex was out. We haven't seen any visible cut into Fortnite. It's a funny thing. The only game you can see where its peaks cut into Fortnite playtime is FIFA. It's another game for everybody, wildly popular around the world."
"What Apex Legends has done is re-energized a lot of shooter players, people who come in and out of shooters depending on what's popular. It's awesome to see other games picking up on battle royale, adding their unique spin to it and advancing the state of the industry."
