Stephens analyst Jeff Cohen noted that Apex Legends' Iron Crown Event, which added a Solos mode to the game, has generated a significant amount of media attention and his survey found that the playerbase is "extremely pleased" with the addition of the Solos mode. Though players have expressed frustration with some of the monetization mechanics, his survey of 167 players found that about 80% indicated they will continue playing Apex going forward and Twitch engagement has now eclipsed Season 1 on a like-for-like basis, said Cohen, who keeps an Overweight rating on Electronic Arts shares.
