That only last a couple of weeks — maybe a month at most, until Fortnite released a new update, and Apex fell to the backdrop, where it would remain for the rest of time. Some people still play it, however, it will never go back to its peak popularity that it first had, and it will never pass Fortnite, which it was created with the prime intention to do.
