Although Battlefield 2042 has managed to make a comeback that doesn’t mean some players aren’t opting to play the classics instead. Here’s how many people play Battlefield 4 and what EA’s iconic entry’s player count looks like as of March 2024.

The Battlefield franchise is one that’s been around for decades, setting a precedent for larger FPS games and battling the likes of Call of Duty for reign over the genre. Even after the release of two new Battlefield games, classics like Battlefield 4 continue to pull in thousands of players daily.

So, how many people are actually playing Battlefield 4 in January 2024? Here’s everything we know about the game’s player count, taken from Steam Charts.

Updated March 5, 2024, with fresh player count information.

What is Battlefield 4’s player count in 2024?

If we take a look at the last 30 days, we have seen the average number of Battlefield 4 hit 1,482.

These figures show that the classic FPS game is still able to retain its player count with consistent figures in the 1,000-2,000 range well after Battlefield 2042’s launch.

Previously, during the build-up to Battlefield 2042 back in October 2021, the fourth main game in the series saw a huge boost in its all-time peak with 12,342 players enjoying the game simultaneously on Steam.

The figures then dropped drastically by the end of November 2021, with the average player count dropping to 2,237. While the initial boom may have passed, maintaining a four-figure player count is an impressive feat for a ten-year-old game that doesn’t receive new content.

How does Battlefield 4’s player count compare to other BF games?

Player count numbers for Battlefield 2042 have dropped massively with the once unpopular shooter now averaging around 10,000 concurrent players which is quite low when compared to its all-time peak with 107,006 concurrent players online in October 2023.

Some players are still enjoying Battlefield V instead, with the game having an average concurrent player count of 23,000 and a peak player count of over 62,000.
