Battlefield 2042<\/a> was supposed to be a return to glory for a franchise that has found itself bogged down in the trenches in recent years.<\/p>\n

While still hugely impressive in terms of technical achievements, it is clear that Battlefield and its developers, DICE, have lost their way. Out of touch with their community and caught in a battle royale-inspired identity crisis, the latest Battlefield release has come to gamers offering something for everyone, yet pleasing nobody.<\/p>\n

It’s sad to see, especially for those that enjoyed the franchise in its heyday, which I would argue was Battlefield 2, it wouldn’t be long after that the game’s started appearing on consoles.<\/p>\n

But whatever the reasons for the franchise’s demise, there is no doubt that this is a very sickly patient indeed, with more evidence emerging over the weekend that points to just how poorly the game is faring.<\/p>\n

Because it turns out that Farming Simulator 2022, which was released last week, beat out Battlefield 2042 in sales and concurrent players,<\/a> at least on Steam.<\/p>\n
