Overview

• Star Wars Battlefront II hit a SteamDB-record 18,635 concurrent players on May 26, eclipsing its previous high from 2021.
• The player surge is credited to Star Wars Day celebrations, the conclusion of Andor season 2 and the Fortnite x Star Wars crossover.
• Fans have mobilized a #MakeBattlefront3 campaign on Reddit and social media, sharing custom menu mockups and urging EA to greenlight a third game.
• Ex-DICE animator Mats Helge Holm and lead animator Harvey Newman have publicly said they would reassemble the original team for Battlefront III.
• EA and DICE have remained silent on the calls for a new entry while focusing on projects like Battlefield 6, as Battlefront II’s Celebration Edition stays heavily discounted.
