During the week, at the peak time for PC players, we don’t even hit 100k anymore. That’s pretty pathetic…Is this game already dying on PC? Not even reaching half of Xbox players, and about 1/3 of PS4 players. In fact, I’m not even able to get into a game right now because all the servers are full or completely empty
Currently online players
PC: 61,656 (24h peak: 93,958)
XBOXONE: 132,657 (24h peak: 154,704)
PS4: 179,948 (24h peak: 217,597)
Total: 374,261
Pathetic? Most of us have to work on the weekdays.
Console numbers are always going to be substantially higher on any title, because they are cheap and cheerful.
As long as I find people in conquest I’m good. But yeah that’s strange, why are sales so low ? Is it due to Overwatch and Sombra release on PTR or something ? Or Cod release ?
Not surprised at all
So only people who play on PC have work? Everyone who owns a console isn’t working according to your logic
Well, that explains why they buy consoles at least…
I think some of those players got tired of the poor performance on PC and either quit or started on another platform. I hit 31 on PC, couldn’t take the stuttering and DirectX crashes anymore so I bought it for PS4 and haven’t touched the PC version since.
I’m sure after they patch the CPU and directX issues the numbers should go back up at least a little.
TitanFall and COD will have each claimed some (though, by comparison, COD had a 5,000 player peak on PC)
Others went back to BF4 for some reason or another (I have a feeling this was more PC players than console for w/e reason)
Overwatch launched Sombra and can’t even let everyone into PTS to try her (only 10k concurrent player limit though)
Still perfectly healthy. Significant drop after 2 weeks is to be expected. The question is where it stabilizes.
Your total is misleading using “current” # instead of peak #'s as well BTW. (nearly 100k player difference)
And have less hacks and no text spam of racist and toxic messaging =)
The CoD infinite warfare PC player count is dire, not even a fraction of what OP posted for PC.
TItanfall 2 although a great game also doesn’t have that many playing on PC as I write this message.
In fact I doubt there are many PC FPS games right now besides CSGO that has anywhere near the given player count above.
Election day is today, lower active population is to be expected.
The numbers still beat CoD Infinite Warfare’s whopping 7k players playing on steam at the moment, or BF4’s 10k.
With 64 players per server, I fail to see how exactly these numbers represent a dying game. If you aren’t able to get into a game right now, learn how to properly use server filters.
Or if this is an attempt at PC vs Console, face the facts, for most FPS games these days there are more console players than there are PC. It is what it is. CoD franchise still outsell BF only because of their large console playerbase. BF1 at the moment has one of the most healthy PC playing population for a FPS game. Only CS:GO or Overwatch likely have more active PC players.
Hacking is getting too me , my game time has dropped 90%
These are all things that ¯_(ツ)_/¯ off PC community that wouldnt matter to console players, and is probably partially responsible for lower numbers.
Oh yes and the PC community is notoriously hard to please LOL ^
PC is a dying platform, has too many established multiplayer shooters.
Wasn’t the actual peak for PC just over 100,000 anyway? I don;t think 10,000 less players in the middle of the week is a big deal, especially after release-week has ended.
Or you could activate your brain and think deeper than that.
A really good PC to run this game can cost upwards of 2k. If you future proof it a bit. The console costs 300$. What is a 16 year old kid working at Gamestop for his income going to do. Spend 300 and get BF1 now, or save for 2 years and get that PC? Couple cost prohibition with the fact that the PC gamer is far older, on average, than the console gamer → and you have your answer.
Your PC crowd is working during the day. A smaller portion of your console crowd is working during the day. Thus the discrepancy.
Also, have to say, who the heck cares??? Serious question. Are you only going to play games that have the highest player base? Some sort of digital perverted keeping up with the Jonses?
So long as I can find a full game of conquest, which will probably happen easily for the next two years, I dont give a rats a$s what the player count is.
Well the PC community is very fractured. Especially when it comes down to shooters.
Most people on PC are the dumb MOBA generation. Here you wll find the players which are playing 24/7 Mobas. And ONLY Mobas.
And a lot of people are buying the game, playing it for 2 hours and then play something else. Because the majority are causal players.
Further more it is Election day in the USA.
People are taking a break form battlefield until they can be sure, Clinton is not going to nuke Russia and start WW III.
That’s 80k snipers
