Battlefield 1 is wiping the floor with Battlefield 4

4.6
Battlefield 1‘s current playerbase is leaps and bounds ahead of where Battlefield 4 was at this point after its launch in 2013.

A recent earnings call by Electronic Arts included new information about the publisher’s upcoming games, as well as updates on its more popular titles already on the market. It was announced during the call that Battlefield 1‘s average playerbase is approximately 50 percent larger than Battlefield 4‘s at the same point.

Battlefield 1 sold many more copies than originally projected, making it the biggest Battlefield launch ever. Battlefield 1 sold significantly more than EA’s other Q4 2016 shooter, Titanfall 2, but it is considered to be a “higher margin title” than Titanfall 2, which EA claims to be one of its best games of the year.

Other EA titles like Star Wars Battlefront 2 and Mass Effect Andromeda were also discussed during the earnings call, but perhaps the biggest news out of the briefing was that the recently teased Skate 4 is not in development as so many were lead to believe.

BF1 is a lot of fun and I can see why there are so many people playing it. Yeah it's not for everybody and nor is it a perfect game. BF4 is still a great game too and got way better but years after release, I'm hoping DICE go down the same route as BF4 but sooner rather than later if they are wanting to keep people playing because BF1 does get boring after a few games if you play solo.

A lot of people wanted an old school shooter and BF1 did that, it also brought in lots of new players who never played the series before.

Halo Pretty sure BF4 had a lot of issues too when it was released. Unlike BF1


Exactly! it's almost like if a game comes out with less bugs and connection problems than it's predecessor, it'll do better. I'm shocked! /s

I am not surprised at all by this. BF1 is one of my favorite games.

No surprise there, BF1 makes BF4 look like last gen

BF4 is nothing compared to BF1 so this isn't surprising at all.
