Battlefield 2042 continues clawing itself back from the dead with a second consecutively successful weekend. On Oct. 21, it set a new all-time record in player numbers, surpassing its initial launch-day burst. This comes after EA Games made the game free last weekend and significantly discounted its price on Steam.
Both decisions proved fruitful as Battlefield 2042 is seeing unprecedented activity that may revive the game and repair the damage done by its rocky release. Steamcharts shows that BF2042 peaked at around 107,000 players on Oct. 21, with its average numbers tripling in the past 30 days. To put everything into perspective, BF2042‘s peak concurrent player count was a mere 11,000 in September, making its recent success a nearly tenfold increase.
