Split Fiction has broken records for Electronic Arts (EA) on Steam as a paid title. The development team captivated the gaming community with an extraordinary launch that surpassed all predictions.
After debuting on PC through Steam, the title saw remarkable commercial traction, standing out among EA’s published games. SteamDB figures show it achieved a peak concurrent player count exceeding 197,000. This sets a new benchmark for the highest peak player count ever recorded for a paid EA game on the platform.
To put this in perspective, EA's previous paid-game record holder was Battlefield V, which peaked at around 116,000 concurrent players. The publisher's most-played game overall remains the free-to-play Apex Legends, with a peak exceeding 620,000 players.
Beyond its record-setting launch, Split Fiction has earned considerable acclaim from its audience. Steam user reviews reflect an "Overwhelmingly Positive" reception, with a 98% approval rating. This underscores the game's broad popularity and strong reception among players globally.
