![]() ![]() As Battlefield 2042 receives additional updates and content, we’ll be watching to see if it can reel back in players that have walked away. This has been evident in the major patches that Battlefield 2042 has received in recent months.īattlefield 2042 was originally set to kick off Season 1 in early 2022, but those plans were delayed to this summer as the developer prioritized fixing core issues with the game. The developers have apologized for the several issues that made Battlefield 2042 an unenjoyable experience at launch, and have been working to make the overall product better. That said, it’s still a decent measurement in the general interest of a game. It doesn’t include players on Origin or any of the Xbox/PlayStation consoles. It’s worth keeping in mind that Steam Charts only accounts for those playing the game on PC through Steam. Battlefield 2042’s Steam player base has been on a consistent decline for months now, and today’s statistics saw it hit an unfavorable milestone. We identified this via Steam Charts, the third-party site that tracks user data on Valve’s PC platform. But Jack Taylor’s real contribution was discovering the rap group Dr. ET on April 11 that Battlefield 2042 saw its concurrent player count drop to 979, the lowest since it launched back in November 2021 and the first time that it’s fallen below the 1,000 mark. Harlem World would become a legendary battlefield like Brandywine Creek: Cold Crush Brothers versus the Fantastic Romantic 5 and the 1981 rap contest in which Kool Moe Dee lyrically ambushed an unknowing Busy Bee, forever changing the way MCs battled. The diminishing interest in Battlefield 2042 was on display when the game dropped below the 1,000 concurrent player mark on Steam earlier today. Though EA and DICE have been working to improve the state of the game, it’s struggled to keep players engaged. From a wide variety of experience-ruining bugs and glitches to core design issues and a lack of overall content, it was one of the poorest-received Battlefield games in recent memory. Should the Battlefield 2042 player count dip even further, EA may just write it off for good.Battlefield 2042 had a troubled launch, to say the least. Ultimately, with the complete inexistence of a Battlefield 2042 campaign, an empty multiplayer platform riddled with issues, and no sign of a meaningful roadmap, this game may have already gone past the point of no return. It’s a last-ditch effort to re-introduce some kind of community to the crumbling world of Battlefield 2042. There are already talks of making Hazard Zone, the battle-royale-ish mode introduced in Battlefield 2042, totally free-to-play, with multiplayer potentially following. If there’s any update coming in the future containing real value, we just can’t determine what that value will be. Honestly, there’s no way this game can recover – the damage is definitely done. At an internal session, EA blamed the launch of Halo Infinite and the COVID-19 pandemic for the failure of the game, a move that wasn’t taken well by the gaming industry in general. Furthermore, simple updates such as the inclusion of a scoreboard in a multiplayer match were only just released in March 2022 – a delay of five months, post-launch. It was revealed recently that the Battlefield 2042 season 1 would be pushed back to the summer of 2022.

By contrast, Battlefield V, the previous title, boasts a 30-day peak player count of 27k on Steam.Peaked at 340k viewers on in November 2021, currently averaging around 387 viewers.Peaked at 100k on in November 2021, the current peak for March 2022 is 3,538.Here are some figures to play with, just to show you how far Battlefield 2042 has fallen: Within a few short weeks, the player count, interest on social media, and even the ‘professional’ creators backing Battlefield had backed off into darkness. While we were well aware of some shortcomings in Battlefield 2042, the overall state of the game post-launch was quite honestly an embarrassment to all involved. However, fans quickly realised that the game had been released in a completely broken, empty, and desolate state. When it launched, the player count for the game was substantial – at least for a Battlefield title. ![]()
