Split Fiction has shattered records, setting a new high-water mark for Electronic Arts (EA) on Steam among paid games. The game's launch exceeded all expectations, captivating the gaming community with its impressive debut.
Released recently on Steam for PC, Split Fiction's success is particularly noteworthy when compared to other EA titles. SteamDB data reveals a peak player count surpassing 197,000 users—the highest ever recorded for a paid EA game on the platform.
This achievement dwarfs even EA's previous record-holder, Battlefield V, which peaked at 116,000 players. While EA's most popular title remains the free-to-play Apex Legends (with a peak exceeding 620,000 players), Split Fiction's performance in the paid market is undeniably groundbreaking.
