the saga Battlefield can’t find the formula for success. The last installment that reached all consoles (PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and PC) on November 19 of last year has failed to become the great success that was expected.
Despite passing the 4.23 million copies mark in its launch week, the developers wouldn’t be happy with the numbers of active players.
Tom Henderson, a video game journalist, recently reported that DICE and EA “are disappointed” with the installment and would explore “all options” to give it a second life.
“EA is reportedly very disappointed with the performance of Battlefield 2042 and is looking at all options when it comes to the title, including looking at Free to Play in some way,” he writes on his Twitter account.
Perhaps the solution is to make the saga ‘free-to-play’. Let’s remember that Call of Duty has already tested this system with its Battle Royale, which has become one of the most downloaded shooters of 2021.
