In Japan, PUBG had a significant influence, and battleroyale games were more popular than 5v5 tactical shooters.
Additionally, due to the influence of Nintendo and Sony, console gaming is more popular, and the culture of gaming on PC is still relatively weak.
These two factors made Apex Legends (battleroyale and playable on PS4) very accessible and appealing to Japanese players.
On top of that, during the COVID-19 pandemic, many streamers and VTubers played the game, which further contributed to its popularity.
