Split Fiction Breaks EA's Paid Game Record on Steam

Split Fiction has shattered records, achieving a historic milestone for Electronic Arts (EA) on Steam. This paid game's launch surpassed all expectations, captivating the gaming community.

Released recently on Steam, Split Fiction's success is particularly impressive compared to other EA titles. SteamDB data reveals a peak concurrent player count exceeding 197,000 users—the highest ever recorded for a paid EA game on the platform. This significantly surpasses Battlefield V's previous record of 116,000 peak players. While EA's free-to-play Apex Legends remains the most popular with over 620,000 peak players, Split Fiction's achievement is remarkable within the paid game category.

Beyond its impressive numbers, Split Fiction has earned overwhelming praise. Steam reviews overwhelmingly laud the game, boasting a remarkable 98% positive rating. This demonstrates not only its commercial success but also its widespread appeal among gamers globally.
