Apex Legends is one of the most popular games in the world right now,” said Michele Attisani, co-founder & CBO of FACEIT in a prepared statement. “The battle royale genre has truly set the gaming world alight and we’re thrilled to keep playing a part in the development of the competitive community.”

Developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts, Apex Legends is a free-to-play spinoff of the Titanfall franchise. The battle royale game launched in February with a slew of “Apex Legends Partners”—top Twitch streamers including Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek, Jack “CouRage” Dunlop, and Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm.

In its first day, Apex Legends became the most-watched game on Twitch with 4.62M hours viewed, compared to League of Legends Database-Link-e1521645463907 and Fortnite Database-Link-e1521645463907 at 2.85M and 2.78M, respectively.

Apex Legends Season 1 began on Tuesday with the game’s first Battle Pass, allowing players to earn items such as weapon skins. Certain Season 1 themed items can also be earned without paying a fee.
