Battlefield Game With Nearly 159,000 Negative Steam Reviews Suffers Player Count Nosedive

The most recent entry in the Battlefield series, Battlefield 2042, is probably one of this decade’s most disappointing video games. Battlefield games were known for their exciting gameplay and immersive experience, but Battlefield 2042 let everyone down instead of pushing the limits. In 2025, the game hasn’t crossed 18,000 average active player count, which just shows the state the Battlefield franchise is in.

There was some hope in March 2025, when the average active player count was relatively high, but it has dipped significantly since then. Battlefield 2042 was a miss, but DICE, Motive Studios, Ripple Effect Studios, and Criterion Games, all of EA’s subsidiary studios, are working hard to revive the Battlefield franchise with the next game.

Battlefield 2042 has proved to be one of EA’s biggest financial mistakes

2021’s Battlefield 2042 was intended to be the most advanced Battlefield game in the series, and although it introduced some new mechanics and features, it ultimately failed to captivate fans. The game has failed to meet its sales expectations, and in 2025, it is struggling to cross even the 20,000 active player count milestone.

, Battlefield 2042 had an average player count of approximately 17,000 in March 2025; however, this number has since dropped to around 12,000 in May 2025. It seems like only the diehard fans are trying their best to keep the game alive.

EA has confirmed that the game will no longer receive new season updates, so it makes sense that the game’s popularity has dipped. Plus, many other FPS shooters out there provide a far better experience than Battlefield 2042.

EA is now focused on the next Battlefield game

that Battlefield 2042 would no longer receive official seasons. The news was indeed disappointing for fans, but EA explained why it was necessary. Four of EA’s subsidiary studios, DICE, Motive Studios, Ripple Effect Studios, and Criterion Games, were confirmed to be working hard to deliver the next chapter of the Battlefield franchise.

Battlefield 2042 was an underwhelming experience, and in case you’re not convinced, the game has roughly 159,000 negative reviews on

. The studios working on the next game need to make sure that they don’t make the same mistakes they made while developing 2042. As disappointing as it was, the game had some fresh features that need to make a comeback in the next game to make it the best Battlefield experience.

Focusing on giving players a brand new experience doesn’t always work out, and Battlefield 2042 is a great example of this. Fans complained had very few elements that reminded players of the previous Battlefield titles. Games like Battlefield 1 and 4 are probably the best starting points because these games were extremely popular among fans.
