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 among paid games. Its impressive launch exceeded all expectations, captivating the gaming community.

Released recently on Steam, Split Fiction's success surpasses all other EA-published titles on the platform. SteamDB data reveals a peak concurrent player count exceeding 197,000 users—a new record for a paid EA game on Steam.

This achievement significantly outpaces previous EA record-holders. Battlefield V, the closest competitor, peaked at 116,000 players. While EA's most popular title, the free-to-play Apex Legends, boasts over 620,000 concurrent players, Split Fiction's accomplishment is particularly noteworthy within the paid game segment.

Beyond its remarkable player numbers, Split Fiction has earned overwhelmingly positive critical acclaim. Steam reviews showcase an impressive 98% approval rating, demonstrating both commercial success and widespread player satisfaction globally.
