Farming Simulator 22 has more peak concurrent players than Battlefield 2042, which was plagued by numerous bugs and other concerns when it was released. In comparison to Farming Simulator 22, Battlefield 2042’s Steam peak concurrent player base has fallen. Problems with Battlefield 2042’s low fps and servers, glitches, bugs and other troubles have plagued DICE’s new game since it launched on November 19. It’s impossible to predict whether or not the remedies being rolled out to address any of these issues will be successful.
Battlefield 2042 lacked a number of features included in prior Battlefield games, resulting in a large amount of player dissatisfaction. EA and DICE will undoubtedly have a difficult time addressing these issues, as well as the game’s mediocre aesthetics, shoddy sound design, and sluggish gameplay. Future upgrades to Battlefield 2042 may address some of the game’s most pressing faults, but the game still has a long way to go before its fans are completely satisfied with it.
Battlefield 2042’s active player base on Steam is lower than that of the recently released Farming Simulator 22, according to a recent Kotaku report. Battlefield 2042 can be played on a wide variety of platforms, although Steam is only one of them. It doesn’t matter how big of a green thumb the Steam community has if you can outdo a high-profile release, like a new Battlefield game, on a huge platform like Steam. As of this writing, Battlefield 2042 had 52,000 gamers online in the last 24 hours, while its newfound opponent had 94,000. The game’s reputation has already been tarnished after it was included in Steam’s list of the most critically panned titles.
When it comes to Battlefield 2042, it’s probable a small sample of gamers on Steam doesn’t give a whole view of the game’s fanbase. Even if that’s the case, Battlefield 2042’s low Steam ratings are still noteworthy, even if the game’s other platform figures are much better. Steam is a popular distributor of PC games, and PCs are commonly used for gaming. According to these figures, even if Battlefield 2042 is doing better on other platforms than Steam, it appears to have lost a significant number of potential gamers.
It’s not all bad news for the new release, despite the outpouring of dissatisfaction and terrible reviews. It has roughly double the number of players as Battlefield 5, the previous chapter in the series. As long as the series continues to improve its launches for future entries, the franchise may be able to avoid a fatal blow from the terrible performance of this game at debut. EA and DICE have a lot of work ahead of them, but it’s impossible to predict what will happen in the future.
