Battlefield 2042 player count dropped under 1000 players. With many players seeking refunds for their purchases, Battlefield 2042 is having the worst debut in the series’ history. EA has significantly let down its fans with the most recent edition of this long-running franchise. The game was published as an unfinished product, which is why it included so many bugs and issues on Day 1. Day 1 bugs and glitches are nothing unusual in games; nevertheless, Battlefield 2042 suffers from another level of failure.
Many fans and gamers still find it hard to believe that the game does not include a voice chat option. In the recent history of multiplayer shooter games, there hasn’t been one that doesn’t have it. These issues have resulted in a decrease in its player base and the game’s lowest concurrent players ever.

In the previous 5 months, the maximum number of participants has reached a high of 105,397. This franchise’s developers and publisher EA have had a very bad year in terms of this series.

The number of concurrent players for the previous game edition was greater than that for the most recent title. Battlefield V has about 9,000 active players right now, with a 24-hour peak of 18,712. It’s extremely unusual to witness an earlier game edition outperform the newest one.
According to the above study, the release of Halo Infinite in the same window as Battlefield 2042 has had a significant influence on concurrent players. When compared to this year’s Battlefield 2042, Halo Infinite offers players a considerably smoother and technically superior gaming experience. In comparison, previous Halos have consistently had higher average concurrent player counts.
It appears that the game will be relying on their next update to repair things with the player base. In the future update, they will address numerous concerns and fix many bugs, such as the scoreboard and other bundle problems. The game will also include an in-game voice chat option and improvements to some of the game’s maps to offer players a better gameplay experience. There is no release date for this upcoming update yet, but EA has stated that it should be out by mid-April.
