Split Fiction Breaks EA's Paid Game Record on Steam

Split Fiction has shattered records by achieving the highest peak player count for a paid Electronic Arts (EA) game on Steam, setting a new benchmark in the gaming industry. Launched recently on PC via Steam, this game has not only met but surpassed the expectations of the gaming community, drawing in over 197,000 players at its peak, as reported by SteamDB.

This impressive figure eclipses the previous record held by another EA title, Battlefield V, which reached a peak of 116,000 players. While Apex Legends, a free-to-play game from EA, still holds the title for the most popular with over 620,000 peak players, Split Fiction's success among paid games is noteworthy.

Beyond its commercial triumph, Split Fiction has received widespread acclaim from the gaming community. On Steam, the game boasts an "overwhelmingly positive" rating with an astonishing 98% approval from players. This high level of positive feedback underscores the game's broad appeal and quality, cementing its place as a standout title in EA's portfolio.
