The numbers for Battlefield 2042 are likely larger than what Steam is showing, though it's unlikely to reach Farming Simulator 22's heights. For one, Battlefield 2042 is also available on other PC storefronts it's not exclusive to Steam, as it's available not just on the Epic Games Store, but also on EA's Origin platform where it's included in the company's EA Play Pro subscription. To be fair to Battlefield 2042, there are some details worth acknowledging. On Steam, Farming Simulator 22 reigns supreme. Battlefield 2042 sold the second largest number of copies over the past week. Farming Simulator 22 holds the top position in the chart, outselling all other games. These numbers are reflected in Steam's weekly sales chart, too. Similarly, Farming Simulator 22's daily peaks have held surprisingly even near 100 thousand players.

After an initial spike on November 19, the game typically holds around 50 thousand concurrent players. This isn't really a drop in players for Battlefield 2042, either.

That's why on Steam, Farming Simulator 22 is seeing concurrent player counts around twice as large as Battlefield 2042. However, it's largely similar to past Farming Simulator titles it just does exactly what its player base expects and it does it well. The farming game adds new features, including support for mulching and stone picking, and also a character creation system. One example is another recently-launched annual iteration of a popular franchise, Farming Simulator 22.įarming Simulator 22 was officially released on November 22, about one week ago and three days after Battlefield 2042's arrival. That's not to say it isn't doing well, but other PC titles released over the past two weeks are finding more success. On PC, however, Battlefield 2042 is struggling to make an impact. The multiplayer first-person shooter has been highly anticipated due to its 128-player matches and the new Portal custom game functionality. Battlefield 2042 is one of the biggest game releases of 2021.
