Over Christmas, the community preferred to play “Battlefield 5” rather than the new series part “Battlefield 2042”.

What could be the reason?

Usually players prefer to select the new part of a series rather than dealing with the previous versions.

Over Christmas, however, the opposite phenomenon occurred: “Battlefield 5” was sometimes played more often than the brand new “Battlefield 2042” * on the holidays.

The predecessor dates from 2018.

"Battlefield 2042" overtaken by its predecessor

Data from Steam charts provide proof: On Christmas Day,

almost 23,000 players

accessed

“Battlefield 5”

at

peak times

, while “only” 19,000 gambled the new title.

A similar picture emerges on December 25th: Almost 25,000 players have opted for the older version - around 19,000 for “Battlefield 2042”.

In a month-to-month comparison, however, the new title is ahead of the game: 105,000 players turned up for “Battlefield 2042”, for “Battlefield 5” it was 90,000.

That's what EA says.

Why is Battlefield 2042 performing so poorly with gamers?

The reasons for this can be diverse: At the launch, “Battlefield 2042” had

to struggle with a few bugs

, players criticized too few weapons in important modes, and some found the maps too big.

Even if the developer DICE himself

trying hard to iron out problems, important functions from the predecessors should only return in the long term, as

reported by

golem.de

.

These include voice chat or the scoreboard at the end of the game.

In addition, the game is still in the

pre-season

. Now there are indications that the start of Season 1 could not be until March 2022 - a shock for fans of the shooter who were hoping for new content soon. Apart from that, it should be noted that the

Definitive Edition of "Battlefield 5" is currently available for a mere 15 euros in the Steam Winter Sale

- while the

comparable Ultimate Edition of "Battlefield 2042"

costs

almost 90 euros

. The reviews on Steam speak a similar language:

Almost 70 percent of the reviews are negative

. Nevertheless, players shouldn't give up the title too quickly: the developers were able to cement some other games after a bad launch.
