Split Fiction Breaks EA's Paid Game Record on Steam

Split Fiction has etched its name in the annals of gaming history by setting a new record for Electronic Arts (EA) on Steam among paid games. The developers behind this title have brilliantly captured the gaming community's attention, achieving a launch that surpassed all expectations.

Since its release on PC via Steam, Split Fiction has enjoyed extraordinary success, particularly when benchmarked against other EA-published titles. Data sourced from SteamDB reveals that the game hit a peak player count of over 197,000 users. This impressive milestone represents the highest peak player count ever achieved by a paid EA game on the platform.

To put this into perspective, the nearest contender in EA's portfolio is Battlefield V, which previously held the record with a peak of 116,000 players. On the other hand, the most popular game in EA's catalog remains the free-to-play Apex Legends, which boasts a peak player count of over 620,000.

Beyond its record-breaking performance, Split Fiction has received widespread acclaim from its player base. On Steam, the game has been met with "overwhelmingly positive" reviews, achieving a stellar approval rating of 98%. This accolade not only underscores the game's commercial triumph but also its broad appeal to gamers across the globe.
