Split Fiction has etched its name into the annals of gaming history by setting a new record for Electronic Arts (EA) on Steam among paid games. The game's developers have masterfully captured the gaming community's attention with a launch that not only met but surpassed all expectations.
Since its recent release on PC through Steam, Split Fiction has demonstrated phenomenal success, outshining other EA titles. Data from SteamDB reveals that the game soared to a peak player count of over 197,000 users. This staggering figure establishes a new benchmark as the highest peak player count ever achieved by a paid EA game on the platform.
To put this achievement into perspective, the nearest rival in EA's portfolio is Battlefield V, which previously held the record with a peak of 116,000 players. On the other hand, the crown jewel of EA's catalog remains the free-to-play Apex Legends, which boasts an impressive peak player count exceeding 620,000.
Beyond its record-breaking performance, Split Fiction has also received widespread acclaim from players. The game's reviews on Steam are labeled "overwhelmingly positive," with a remarkable approval rating of 98%. This accolade underscores not just the commercial triumph of Split Fiction, but also its universal appeal and resonance with gamers across the globe.
