Interest in Star Wars Battlefront 2 Reaches Peak After 4 Years

Star Wars Battlefront 2, which was released in 2017, 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 9,777 concurrent players in the last 24 hours. So what is behind this sudden increase in interest?

Star Wars Battlefront 2 is Running for a Record

Battlefront 2 came to Steam in 2020 and peaked at 10,489 concurrent players in January 2021. Since then, daily player numbers have been between 2,000-5,000, and it has been striking that this number has almost doubled in recent days. Several different factors may have been effective in the renewed interest in the game.

A video recently published by content creator JackFrags stands out as one of the factors that triggered this interest. Jack states that factors such as the Steam discount, the May the 4th event, and the success of Andor Season 2 may have been effective in the game’s rise. However, the main point emphasized in the video is that the game still looks very good and has strong playability.

Despite being a game released in 2017, Battlefront 2 can compete with today’s games with its graphic quality and sound design. This both draws old players back with nostalgia and offers an attractive experience to new players. In addition, the fact that many content creators have rediscovered the game has also increased the community’s interaction.

Rumors about Battlefront 3 are still uncertain. 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 soon. However, this increase in player interest may be a glimmer of hope for the future of the series.
