Split Fiction has etched its name in the annals of gaming history by breaking a new record for Electronic Arts (EA) on Steam among paid games. The developers behind this title have captivated the gaming community with a launch that not only met but surpassed all expectations.
Since its release on PC through Steam, Split Fiction has achieved phenomenal success, setting itself apart from other EA titles. Data sourced from SteamDB reveals that the game hit an unprecedented peak player count of over 197,000 users. This remarkable feat marks the highest peak player count ever achieved by a paid EA game on the platform.
To put this achievement into perspective, consider that the previous record holder among EA's games was Battlefield V, which peaked at 116,000 players. On the other hand, EA's top-performing game, the free-to-play Apex Legends, has seen a peak player count soar above 620,000.
Beyond its record-breaking numbers, Split Fiction has also received widespread acclaim from the gaming community. On Steam, the game boasts an "overwhelmingly positive" rating, with an impressive 98% approval from players. This high praise underscores not just the game's commercial triumph but also its broad appeal to gamers around the globe.
