  • The game climbed to the 22nd spot on Xbox's most-played games list, surpassing popular titles like Destiny 2 and Halo.
  • Originally controversial for its loot box system, the game gained a loyal fanbase after EA froze microtransactions and provided free post-launch content.

  • Fans are calling for a sequel, but DICE's current focus on Battlefield 6 makes a new Battlefront title unlikely in the near future.
