You have to own a copy of BF4 on PC/PS4/Xbox One to be able to play as Commander on Tablet. You don’t reach rank 10 without playing the game.

What is it with X1 guys coming to this thread trying to justify their purchases? Who gives a fuck? Do that somewhere else, I don’t care why you bought an X1.

</div>

i’m not trying to justify my purchase i was merely asking what was the POINT?.. me and 63 others is the max i can play with… arguably across all game modes if you wanted 1 simultaneous game on each with max player counts and hardcore / core would be like 400 or less?.. just wanted to know why irrelevant numbers over your chosen modes max count was important to you? and you felt you had to compile data and post this?..

Pc was over 150k at the start and all other platforms had double what they have now.

That’s not the point…

The point is, a year down the line when all DLC’s have been released and the playing field is more spread out across different maps and games, finding specific game modes will be more difficult on Xbone compared to any other platform (Bizarrely, including X360).

As a person who plays hardcore, I find it difficult sometimes to find Hardcore servers on maps/modes I like… and that’s on the PS4 with 3x / 4x more players than Xbone…

the only time XB1 has had problems with finding games was a xmas when the queue bug happened. i know lots of ppl who play hardcore and they have NEVER found it hard soooo what’s the point in lying.

Right at this moment: XBOXONE: 3,303 to PS4’s 28,303 players online.

That’s nearly 10x more. LMAO

Here are the updated player averages across all platforms.  
PC---- 34922.640257  
PS3— 34591.462527  
PS4— 42250.338330  
X360-- 24338.509636  
XONE-- 18650.394004

So player counts have dropped on all platforms since the last time I posted this thread, PS4 still reigns supreme. What’s very surprising is there are times when there are less than 2000 players total playing on the X1 (2014-03-27 07:00)… that’s like a barren wasteland. Must be hard finding full servers for the game modes / maps you want considering players are split across DLCs and different game modes.

As it stands now:  
PS4 makes up 27.3% of all BF4 players  
X1 makes up 12.0% of all BF4 players

So PS4’s share of the BF4 market increased, while X1’s share decreased since last posting

I’ve posted the updated dataset here: [http://pastebin.com/Z4A3JP6d](http://pastebin.com/Z4A3JP6d) [[pastebin.com](http://pastebin.com)]

I got lazy with the analysis, but I think an interesting question would be to see how much player counts dropped on X1 since the release of Titanfall.

Does that mean that us PS4 owners are bigger idiots, or that we don’t have anything else to play?

Nawh but it means that if a competitive scene ever happens for this game, PS3, PS4, and PC will probably have more people involved.

Do you happen to have the numbers for people playing at release? I would like to know how many people have given up on the game.

Nawh, unfortunately I only started collecting data a few months ago. If I were to guess, I would say the peak player counts were probably around Christmas time, and then decreasing since then. But that’s only a guess.

Yeah, that’s what I’m wondering as well. When was titanfall released on X1? I’ll generate a graph for average daily player counts on X1 before and after Titanfall’s release.

The player counts have been dropping because the lag seems to be increasing. On a side note the test server I played on was flawless so maybe they have finally figured out something.
