Star Wars Battlefront 2 Player Count Surges Thanks to Andor Finale and Star Wars Celebrations

Summary

  • The recent success of Star Wars projects has led to a player spike in Battlefront 2.
  • Andor’s season finale is likely the recent cause contributing to the player spike in Battlefront 2, sparking demand for a potential Battlefront 3.
  • Fortnite’s Galactic Battle, May 4 celebrations, and Star Wars: Episode 3 – Revenge of the Sith’s anniversary could also be behind the increased player count, particularly on Steam.

The popularity of Star Wars Battlefront 2 has experienced a significant surge lately, primarily due to the triumph of another project set within the distant galaxy. Factors contributing to this player upsurge also include the May 4 festivities (an annual Star Wars event), celebrating the anniversary of Star Wars: Episode 3 – Revenge of the Sith, and its re-release in cinemas, as well as possibly the introduction of a new battle royale mode in Fortnite (Galactic Battle), which might have lured some players back to Star Wars Battlefront 2.

The game titled “Star Wars Battlefront 2” was created jointly by DICE, Criterion Games, and Motive Studios, and made available to the public in the year 2017. This game’s story revolves around a unique character named Iden Versio who fights alongside the New Republic against the Galactic Empire. Known for its exceptional space combat, “Star Wars Battlefront 2” stands among top-tier games such as “Executive Assault 2”, “Heat Signature”, and “FTL: Faster Than Light”. It offers a captivating and immersive experience, placing players right in the heart of the Star Wars space opera action.

According to TikTok account dailymailgaming’s report, it was observed that the number of players for Star Wars Battlefront 2 has reached its peak since 2021, notably on Steam, after the successful conclusion of Andor on Disney Plus. This surge in player count follows a significant increase in Star Wars Battlefront 2 players on May 4, and interestingly, the sequel even surpassed popular Xbox games like Halo and Destiny in terms of playtime, which is quite remarkable given that the game hasn’t received any updates for five years.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 Sees Massive Player Spike After Andor Finale

It’s great to report that interest in the game has seen an increase, contrasting with April’s warning about hackers spoiling Star Wars Battlefront 2, making it difficult for players to enjoy online play while developers at EA worked on a fix. Additionally, the success of Andor‘s two seasons demonstrates that the Star Wars fanbase remains vibrant, and viewers can look forward to the anticipated release of The Mandalorian & Grogu in 2026 while they wait.

Apart from boosting the player base for the sequel of Andor, its success also ignited fans’ desire for the revival of the canceled Star Wars Battlefront 3 project. The gaming community believes that EA’s third installment could have set a standard for an ideal live-service Star Wars game experience. Given the adoration for the initial two games, there’s hope that the publisher might heed players’ requests and develop a trilogy.
