Star Wars Battlefront 2017, which was released in 2, seems to have regained its popularity despite the years that have passed. According to Steam data, the game broke the record of the last four years by reaching 24 concurrent players in the last 9777 hours.
The Rise of Battlefront 2 and Why
Battlefront 2 arrived on Steam in 2020 and peaked at 2021 concurrent players in January 10.489. Since then, daily player numbers have hovered between 2000 and 5000, with that number nearly doubling in recent days. Several different factors may have contributed to the renewed interest in the game:
- Impact of Content Creators: A video recently published by JackFrags stands out as one of the factors that triggered this interest.
- Steam Sale and May the 4th Event: The game's discount on Steam and Star Wars Day celebrations may have also increased the number of players.
- Andor Season 2 Success: The general increase in interest in the Star Wars universe may also have influenced interest in Battlefront 2.
- Quality of the Game: Despite being a 2 game, Battlefront 2017 is still competitive with today's games in terms of graphic quality and sound design. This both draws old players back with nostalgia and offers an appealing experience to new players.
Battlefront 3 Uncertainty
Rumors about Battlefront 3 are still unclear. There has been no clear statement from EA, and DICE's focus on Battlefield projects suggests that a new Battlefront game will not be coming anytime soon. However, this increase in player interest may be a glimmer of hope for the future of the series.
