Battlefield 2042 has gone from irrelevance to drawing in a sizable player base. But how many people are playing Battlefield 2042 in April 2024? Here’s the player count for DICE’s FPS game.

Invisibility glitches, sky swimming, and overpowered Hovercrafts are some of the many reasons that  Battlefield 2042 had a less-than-ideal launch. That problematic launch contributed considerably to the game’s player base, with many looking to Battlefield V, or even Call of Duty to get their FPS fix.

However, since the release of Season 6: Dark Creations and Season 7: Turning Point, the game has gone on to gain a substantial amount of player base.

With that in mind, we’ve sifted through the data to try and see just how many people are playing Battlefield 2042 in April 2024. Not only that, but we’ll line these numbers up against some recent Battlefield games too.

Updated April 3, 2024, with updated player count information.

What’s Battlefield 2042’s player count in 2024?

Season 6’s launch massively bolstered Battlefield 2042’s once-struggling player count.

Battlefield 2042 managed to attract an average player count of 14,369 over the last 30 days. The numbers have witnessed a drastic rise since February 2024 when the average player count was 10,353.

It is important to remember that these figures from Steam Charts only reflect the FPS game’s player count on PC meaning the full player count across all platforms will be even higher.

EA and DICE have finally managed to make Battlefield 2042 popular once again.

The other Battlefield games are bringing in the following average concurrent players over the last 30 days, according to SteamCharts:

  • Battlefield V: 16,359
  • Battlefield 1: 7,162
  • Battlefield 4: 1,227

It’s impressive to see Battlefield V still dominating newer titles despite the game being almost six years old.
