Split Fiction has etched its name into the annals of gaming history by setting an unprecedented record for Electronic Arts (EA) on Steam among paid games. The developers have masterfully captured the gaming community's attention with a launch that not only met but surpassed all expectations.
Since its recent release on PC via Steam, Split Fiction has achieved extraordinary success, particularly when benchmarked against other EA titles. Data from SteamDB reveals that the game hit a peak player count of over 197,000 users, establishing the highest peak player count ever for a paid EA game on the platform.
To put this into perspective, the nearest competitor in EA's portfolio is Battlefield V, which previously held the record with a peak of 116,000 players. On the other hand, the crown jewel of EA's catalog remains the free-to-play Apex Legends, with a peak player count soaring above 620,000.
Beyond its record-breaking performance, Split Fiction has received extensive acclaim from players. Reviews on Steam are labeled "overwhelmingly positive," with an astounding approval rating of 98%. This not only underscores the game's commercial triumph but also its broad appeal among gamers globally.
