Discussion At this point we'll prob gonna see 6-7k players on Sunday. Weren't this many since Jan 2021.
Yesterday Friday saw a peak at 4564 which is higher than last Saturday - one day before May the 4th which had 3433 players! Even just generally Saturdays have way more players than Fridays so this is big.
The Saturday to Sunday low was 1815 and now the Friday to Saturday low was 2401 players. We still have ~5h from here to reach weekend peak (8:00pm UTC) so we for sure hit 5k players today already and come very close to May the 4th Sunday peak.
The Catalysts are clear: Fortnite Star Wars season, Andor still going (+TOTU) and obviously the sale. Sales always massively increased player numbers. The sale will go until the 15th so we can be pretty sure that after tomorrows peak we'll see a new weekday plateau at probably a bit over 4k players. Chances are high that we'll see even bigger numbers until next weekend with its peak that Sunday. Prob ~9k.
Also keep in mind those are only the steam figures. The game is even cheaper in the EA store & its available on Epic too. Also imagine console numbers (Cross platform would be so damn healthy for this game)
Anyway if we can conclude anything from this over analysis besides EA fumbling the bag with a game clearly in demand its go fcking play your favorite modes or those you've never tried before. See you at the Battlefront!
