In a blog post of developer DICE, today we have gotten a clue for the first time how well-battlefield 2042 has actually sold to the start. It should be more successful than the predecessor Battlefield V.

That's what the developers say to the start: in the official blog post, in which it was mainly around the upcoming update and the roadmap from Battlefield 2042, Dice thanked directly with the players for the successful release.

Accordingly, millions of players would play Battlefield 2042. Almost twice as many players would be active as the predecessor Battlefield V.

In the blog post it is said: Only a few days after the world's launch of Battlefield 2042, there are already millions of players among you. We look forward to seeing so many of you again on the battlefield — almost twice as many as with our last release.

Battlefield 2042 despite criticism more successful than the predecessor

How often did Battlefield 2042 sold? There is still no accurate numbers, but on the basis of the information of DICE you can dare at least one estimate.

As Mango reported at that time, Battlefield V, after the estimates of Superman, sold around 1.9 million times to the release in November 2018. Combine this number with the statement that Battlefield 2042 almost twice as many players has, you can go out of numbers between 3 and 4 million. Here you have to note that even players with EA Play and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate can play the shooter. That should have given the numbers again a decent thrust.

Interesting: Battlefield V then remained far behind the numbers of its predecessor, Battlefield 1, back.

How did Battlefield v? also the predecessor of Battlefield 2042 recorded numerous sales to start, but was rather weak compared to previous parts of the series and had problems in advance.

Also then there was a lot of criticism, both at the content and at the technical condition. Battlefield V was able to sell around 8 million offshoots in the first two months after release, but stay behind the expectations. EA led that back then that it had no Battle Royale. An analyst, however, also made other factors such as the negative feedback of the community, the limited campaign lacking co-op elements.

If you go according to the information of DICE, Battlefield 2042 could become more successful than Battlefield V. Whether the critical voices could make a stroke of the bill remains to be seen.

How did Battlefield 2042 start? The shooter is started with numerous technical and playful problems. At Steam, the shooter was literally torn and landed in the first few days among the worst rated games. Suitable for the statement but also counts to the most played titles.
