While it has cooled off from its initial release in 2019, Apex Legends still ranks among the most viewed games on Twitch live streams. In any given month, Apex Legends averages around 100,000 viewers, which puts it firmly in the top 10 titles on the platform.
Currently with over 20 different characters to choose from, Apex Legends offers a level of variety that few other shooters can. Whether it's learning from high-level professional players about the best Apex Legends team compositions, positioning, and game mechanics, or simply tuning into a more relaxed, chat-focused stream, Twitch users are sure to find an Apex Legends channel on Twitch to suit their taste.
HisWattson
Coming off a win at the latest Twitch Rivals event, HisWattson has firmly cemented himself as one of, if not the most, skilled Apex Legends players on the platform. His streams offer about as much insight into the game as one could possibly ask for. Always on the hunt for the number one rank in North America, HisWattson employs a hyper-aggressive, attack-first mentality which all viewers can learn from. Not only is HisWattson one of the highest-level players on the scene, but he can often be found running trios with the best of the best, meaning fans can learn how to better play in a team setting.
Despite what his username would suggest, HisWattson is far from a one-trick player. HisWattson is absolutely the place to go for would-be Wattson mains in Apex Legends, but he also rotates between a myriad of different characters like Seer, Gibraltar, and Revenant. As with watching any player at the top of their game, HisWattson is the go-to stream to learn the latest strategies, meta weapon and character choices, and map awareness.
NICKMERCS
There are many viewers that probably recognize NICKMERCS as a Call of Duty: Warzone streamer, but his recent transition to Apex Legends has also been accompanied by a total reinvention of the streamer's aspirations. While there's no question that NICKMERCS has always been a formidable competitive shooter player, he's always leaned towards a slightly more viewer-focused style. After transitioning to Apex Legends, NICKMERCS has firmly set his sights on entering the top tier of the competitive scene, and his journey to the top provides some of the best entertainment on Twitch.
Despite his renewed focus, NICKMERCS still possesses all the charisma and streaming know-how that made him famous. Like HisWattson, NICKMERCS tends to spread the love out to a number of different Apex Legends characters, but focuses on offensive-minded characters that offer sight to teammates like Seer and Bloodhound.
itsRyanHiga
Unlike the others on this list, itsRyanHiga is not exclusively an Apex Legends player, but he has recently shifted his focus to the game. While he can sometimes be found streaming games like Valorant or other shooters, his Apex Legends streams are top-tier content. Of course, since itsRyanHiga spent the last decade and a half making YouTube videos, his shooter skills are not quite on the level of the professional players on Twitch, but his streams offer a much more relatable viewing experience. Currently, he is on the journey from Platinum rank in Apex Legends to Diamond.
Like NICKMERCS, itsRyanHiga is a talented content creator, and a veritable legend on YouTube, so his streams have a polished quality and fan-first focus that few others possess. While he may be relatively new to Twitch—having joined two years ago—his popularity on YouTube has seen him immediately join the ranks of well-known Twitch streamers like Pokimane, Sykkuno, and the like, making his stream a great spot to find high-level content creators coming together.
Apex Legends is available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
