Though there have been some dips since then, interest in the game has, overall, grown. Star Wars Battlefront 2 reached a new all-time concurrent player peak — 35,892 players — on June 22, with a consistent 20,000 people online at any given time. And these numbers are just for Steam; the game is available on consoles and Windows PC on EA’s proprietary launcher, but concurrent player numbers are not easily available there.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 Is More Popular Than Ever Thanks To A Dedicated Fan Community

I’m not really surprised that this game is still going strong. Despite the rocky start EA had with the loot box system, the game has remained a popular choice. I still play it weekly. Maybe it’s the fact that I am a huge Star Wars fan, but games like Fortnite and Overwatch haven’t remained on my radar, and it’s been a long time since I played either of those games.
