In the last 24 hours, Star Wars: Battlefront 2 has broken its all-time peak several times. It’s being helped by the recent EA Publisher sale, bringing the price down, but its numbers are unreal, regardless. The more Battlefront 2 smashes it, the more the community is desperate for Star Wars: Battlefront 3.
Star Wars: Battlefront 3 is a pipe dream and nothing more right now. EA’s focus is shifting away from Star Wars games, but fans keep coming back. It was back in May that Battlefront 2 experienced its highest player count in over four years. Recently, it’s doing even better.
Star Wars: Battlefront 2 Keeps Breaking Records
The new all-time peak for Star Wars: Battlefront 2 was recorded on June 22—35,892 players.
To be honest, this figure could be broken again and again. The EA Publisher sale on Steam has slashed Battlefront 2 by 80%. This means you can buy it right now for $7.99! Evidently, many players are doing it, including NBA star Kyrie Irving.
He was streaming the game and professed his love for Battlefront 2: “I love this game because I wanna have a big LAN competition with this man, I wanna play the best Battlefront 2 players in the world. I want them to make Battlefront 3 already bro!“
NBA star Kyrie Irving streamed Star Wars Battlefront 2 this week and wants Battlefront 3! “I love this game… I want to play the best Battlefront 2 players in the world. I want them to make Battlefront 3 already bro!”
Irving’s Battlefront 3 sentiment is not a one-off opinion either. If you scower X, you’ll find plenty of trending terms such as #Battlefront3 and #MakeBattlefront3.
Yandura said: “EA is fumbling the biggest bag of all time not announcing Battlefront 3,” whereas X user KG added: “I love every bit of this, Battlefront 3 should happen. I need it to happen.”
I love every bit of this, Battlefront 3 should happen. I need it to happen
