Battlefield 2042 massive increase in player count
In the description of the site “Using gameplay data from over 3 million active PlayStation accounts, we can see that Battlefield 2042 has gained 578% more players after coming to PS Plus and has become more popular than GTA V,” it said.
Although Battlefield productions were loved by the players, Battlefield 2042 was a game that received a lot of reaction. Still, it has been on the Best Sellers charts for quite some time.
Battlefield 2042, the twelfth main game in the series, was released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on November 19, 2021. Unlike other games in the series, Battlefield 2042 is multiplayer only and does not have a single-player story mode. This caused serious controversy among the fans of the series.
One of the reasons for the increase in the number of active players is that it was free for a while on Steam last week.
