Split Fiction Breaks EA's Paid Game Record on Steam

Split Fiction has shattered records, achieving a historic milestone for Electronic Arts (EA) on Steam among paid games. Its impressive launch far exceeded expectations, captivating the gaming community.

Released recently on Steam, Split Fiction's success stands out among 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 significantly outpaces Battlefield V, the previous record holder with a peak of 116,000 players. While EA's free-to-play Apex Legends remains the most popular title, boasting over 620,000 peak players, Split Fiction's achievement is remarkable within the paid game segment.

Beyond its impressive numbers, Split Fiction has earned overwhelming praise. Steam reviews overwhelmingly label the game "overwhelmingly positive," boasting a remarkable 98% approval rating. This underscores not only its commercial triumph but also its widespread appeal among gamers globally.
