The Battlefield 2042 4.0 update was launched on Tuesday, and before the launch of this big update, the recent peak of Battlefield 2042 on Steam was only about 2,000 people, and after the update, steam online peak exceeded 4,000 people. Arguably doubling online players, DICE’s recent efforts to fix it have paid off a bit.
Of course, as an established FPS game series, this point of online players is still very low, and it has not even been shortlisted for Steam’s current top 100 games.
In comparison, in the games before the Battlefield series, the online peak on Battlefield 5 Steam today is still about 20,000 people, while Battlefield 1 is slightly lower, with an online peak of 8699 people.
After this update, some players on Steam reacted a lot better than at the time of the launch, and there were many similar reviews on foreign social media. But unfortunately, the loss of players in Battlefield 2042 is too serious, and it is difficult to queue people at present. In addition, there are also player response optimization problems that have not been solved.
