The shooter Titanfall 2 is one of the top games on Steam with 94% positive reviews. A surprising update now reactivates the multiplayer mode and drastically increases the number of players. The acclaimed sci-fi shooter currently only costs €3 in the Ultimate Edition.

What was the problem with Titanfall 2?

  • The shooter Titanfall 2 was released in 2016 and was considered an “unlucky game” from the start because it appeared between CoD: Infinite Warfare and Battlefield 1 and was lost in the hustle and bustle surrounding the games. Although relatively few played Titanfall 2, they loved the game: The sci-fi shooter also received great reviews: 89% on Metacritic (PS4).
  • In addition to the relatively low number of players, there were later problems with matchmaking: it took a very long time before you could play a multiplayer match in Titanfall 2.
  • As of August 2023, Titanfall 2 was still only slightly popular on Steam. At its peak, Titanfall 2 had a player count of 3,248 on Steam in August. This has changed now.
