"Split Fiction Surpasses EA

Split Fiction has etched its name in the annals of gaming history by breaking a new record for Electronic Arts (EA) on Steam among paid titles. The game's developers have masterfully captured the imagination of the gaming community, launching with unprecedented success that surpassed all expectations.

Since its recent debut on PC through Steam, Split Fiction has soared to remarkable heights, outshining other EA-published games. Data from SteamDB reveals that the game achieved a staggering peak player count of over 197,000 users, setting a new benchmark for the highest peak player count of any paid EA game on the platform.

To put this achievement into perspective, consider that Battlefield V, previously the record holder among EA's paid titles, peaked at 116,000 players. Meanwhile, the crown jewel of EA's portfolio remains the free-to-play Apex Legends, which has seen a peak player count soar above 620,000.

Beyond its record-breaking performance, Split Fiction has received glowing reviews from the gaming community. On Steam, the game boasts an "overwhelmingly positive" rating, with an astounding 98% approval from players. This not only underscores the game's commercial triumph but also its universal acclaim and appeal among gamers around the globe.
