Battlefield 2042 has gone from exciting players with its initial trailer to facing declining relevance. So, how many players are actively engaging with Battlefield 2042 in September 2024?
Invisibility glitches, sky swimming, and dominant Hovercrafts are just some of the factors that contributed to a rocky launch for Battlefield 2042. This troubled beginning significantly affected the game’s player base, leading many to seek alternatives in Battlefield V or even Call of Duty for their FPS needs.
We have analyzed the data to gauge how many players are currently active in Battlefield 2042 as of August 2024. We will also compare these numbers with recent Battlefield titles.
Updated September 2, 2024, with the latest player count information.
What is Battlefield 2042’s player count in 2024?
Season 7: Turning Point was the final season for the game.
Battlefield 2042 has attracted an average player count of 7,950 over the past month. This is a decline from last month’s average of 8,953.
It’s essential to note that these statistics from Steam Charts only represent the player count on PC, so the overall player count across all platforms will be significantly higher.
Battlefield 2042 is losing players again
Unfortunately, while the game experienced a resurgence in 2023, the average player count has been decreasing almost every month and currently sits at just over a quarter of what it reached at its peak last year.
In October 2023, approximately 27,000 players were actively enjoying EA’s futuristic shooter, which was the highest number since its release in November 2021. Now, nearly a year later, that figure has fallen to 7,950. This downward trend has persisted throughout the year, punctuated by minor spikes during seasonal launches and major game updates.
