"Battlefield 2042 was not a highly regarded entry in the Battlefield series, but the 2021 game is seeing a new boost in players recently, and it has to do with Battlefield 6. Numbers on SteamDB show that Battlefield 2042 recently reached the highest peak concurrent-player numbers since 2023--reaching about 75,000 players on August 24. The game's all-time peak was 107,376, which was achieved in October 2023. At launch, in 2021, the game peaked at about 105,000. What's prompting this latest surge in players?"
"No doubt it's the Road to Battlefield 6 update, which added a reimagining of the fan-favorite Iwo Jima map and dozens of rewards redeemable in Battlefield 6. The promotion runs through October 7, so players have plenty of time to unlock everything. Battlefield 2042 is steeply discounted right now on Steam, where it's marked down to $3."
Battlefield 2042 saw a renewed player surge, hitting roughly 75,000 concurrent players on August 24 — its highest peak since 2023 and below an all-time peak of 107,376. The increase is tied to the Road to Battlefield 6 promotion, which adds a reimagined Iwo Jima map and dozens of rewards redeemable in Battlefield 6, running through October 7. The game launched with major issues in 2021 but received steady updates and seasonal support from EA. Battlefield 2042 is heavily discounted across platforms and included with EA Play, and Battlefield 6 launches October 10.
