On Steam, at least, Battlefield 2042 has proven more popular than Halo Infinite.
It would have a been a surprise had Battlefield 2042’s player count at launch exceeded that of Halo Infinite: a full-price game beating a free-to-play one is always noteworthy, when it does happen.
Unfortunately, as encouraging as they may be, these numbers still put Battlefield 2042’s playerbase below those of Battlefield 5 and Battlefield 1 on Steam.
The game’s Steam numbers jumped – and to this day, they’re still higher on average than the months preceding its launch.
