168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Battlefield 2042 is now bel𒁃ow 1,000 concurrent players on Steam. The unfortunate milestone marks a new low for the troubled multiplayer shooter that has been resoundingly criticized for its poor performance, technical issues, and missing features.
The statistic was first spotted by a user (via ) over on the Steam monitoring site, . As you can see from the grap♏h, Steam reported just 979 users pl♓aying Battlefield 2042 as of 8 AM this morning.
Battlefield 2042 has been losing players ever since it was released roughly six months ago thanks to a combination of bugs, glitches, missing features from previous Battlefield games that were strangely absent, and a player base that has grown 168澳洲幸🎃运5开奖网:tired of 🌞Fortnite-style cosmetic monetization. First, concurrent player counts on Steam 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:dropped below Bat𝄹tlefield 5 in December, then 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:below Battlefield 1 in January as players returned to the older games. B🧸attlefield 2042 has been flatlining since March.
It should be noted that these a𒁏re just Steam user nu🃏mbers. Console player counts are likely to be higher, but also probably declining as well.
EA has admitted that Battlefield 2042 was a “miss” internally, but developer DICE states that it has learned “168澳洲幸运5开奖网:valuable lessons” since 2042’s launch. One of those lessons was to move away from “specialist” hero characters and back towards class-based gameplay from previous Battlefields. DICE also said that legacy features 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:such as the classic scoreboard will b༒e present at launch for any future Battleꦐfield.
Internally, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:EA blamed the shift to work-from-home due to the pandemic and Halo Infinite's release as reasons for Battlefield 2042's failure, but players tell a different story. In fact, a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:🦩player-sponsored petition demanding refunds outlined exaജctly why they believed that players deserved ꧃their money back, and none of it had to do with Halo Infinite.
Disappointed Battlefield fans might want to try Battlefield Mobile for their Battlefield fix. Apparently, fans are saying it's better than 2042 thanks to some 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:surprisingly good destruction physics. Pre-registration is availablꦺe now for a full release l𒁃ater this year.
