It looks like Battlefield 2042’s inclusion into PlayStation Plus this March is paying off big time for EA, as the game’s player count has seen a massive uptick!

According to the latest PlayStation Trophy data from TrueTrophies, Battlefield 2042’s trophies has seen a major surge after the shooter’s release on PS Plus. Using the gameplay data of over three million active PlayStation accounts, it shows that BF2042 has gained a whopping 578% player increase! What’s more,  It went from being the 31st most popular game to skyrocketing to fifth overall.

This means that Battlefield 2042 is by far the most successful PlayStation Plus game for March. The report also states that with BF2042’s climb, it has now become one of the top five most played PS5 and PS4 games.

If true (we can’t say for certain given the report isn’t publicly available and there is no way of checking it ourselves), this is a massive win for DICE and EA. Hopefully, the players stick around — especially since the game’s re-introduction of the class system is a major step in the right direction.
