Overview

  • On June 23, Star Wars Battlefront II reached 35,892 concurrent players on Steam, its highest peak since launch.
  • The surge coincides with a limited-time 90% sale on Steam that has reduced the game’s price to $4 until June 26.
  • Interest in the eight-year-old shooter began to climb after Disney+’s Andor Season 2 concluded in May, when players sought to reenact its Rebel Alliance battles.
  • Actor Muhannad Ben Amor and other fans have called on EA to develop Battlefront III, though the publisher has made no such announcement.
  • EA has shifted focus to Battlefield 6 and is set to publish Zero Company, a turn-based tactics game set in the Clone Wars in 2026.
