This time exactly one month ago, Star Wars Battlefront 2 — the 2017 Battlefield-style sandbox multiplayer shooter from DICE and Electronic Arts (EA) — went through a massive resurgence as fans celebrated May the 4th, rode the high of the excellence of Andor Season 2, and clamored for a Battlefront 3 sequel. Now, it's blowing up again...and its player counts are skyrocketing even higher than they were before.
As backend SteamDB data shows, Battlefront 2 has climbed from an average of about 10-15,000 concurrent players — where it's been hovering since last month's renaissance — to an impressive 30-35,000 on Valve's PC gaming platform Steam this past weekend, with the game setting a new peak record of 35,892 on Sunday. That's double the numbers and then some.
