Early signs indicate that #Battlefield2042‘s free weekend seems to have increased the games player count by roughly 8-10% (varies by the hour).
Steam numbers:
DEC 21 – 11AM – 13,000 Players
DEC 12 – 11AM – 12,000 Players— Tom Henderson (@_Tom_Henderson_) December 21, 2021
Adding on, he further revealed statistics that look favorable for this iconic shooter.
If the numbers are similar to the actual data I saw in late November across all platforms, Steam makes up for around 19% of total players. So there are probably around 65,000 – 70,000 players playing #Battlefield2042 at the moment.

This type of news is definitely uplifting for the community since from the preference of hero-shooter-like operators over regular soldiers to the game’s bugs, the devs have not been making the right decisions.
The game will not receive further fixes all the way up until March next year. The game premiered along with its competitors such as Halo and Call of Duty. If the studio did not intend to fix the game up until March, DICE could have capitalized and released the title in March itself.
Battlefield 2042 received a very poor score on Metacritic. And to add salt to the wound, the active player count of the latest iteration of this iconic series was trumped by the likes of Farming Simulator. But, thankfully, the free weekend saw an increase in the player count, which is reassuring.
