Battlefield 1 has seventeen times more players than Battlefield 2042 on Steam

Battlefield 2042 will celebrate its first anniversary on November 19, and for the moment, the FPS is far from being a success. Although many changes have been made to raise the bar, in particular by optimizing it and correcting problems, there is still work to be done, while the community is waiting for significant content, which could arrive with season 3. , whose name would have leaked.

But in the meantime, the conclusion is clear: players flee Battlefield 2042. As we can see on Steam Charts, which shares various statistics related to Steam games, Battlefield 2042 is not the most popular game in the saga on the platform, or even the second. It is actually overtaken by its two predecessors, namely Battlefield 1 (2016) and Battlefield V (2018).

Even more interestingly, it is indeed that of 2016 which dominates the debates, with a nice revival of interest and a peak of 53,107 simultaneous users at the beginning of November, against only 3,730 for BF 2042. BF V peaks at 15,424.

Future changes and additions could, however, reverse these figures, in particular by relocating classes, for gameplay more in line with the history of the franchise, but also content to vary the experience. Season 3 should arrive in a few weeks, in fact, DICE and EA will reveal the details very soon. Meanwhile, lifelong rival Call of Duty continues to wow gamers, with over $1 billion generated in ten days for Modern Warfare 2.
