However, it now seems like Red Dead Online has more concurrent players on Steam than Battlefield 2042, as revealed by SteamDB.īattlefield 2042 is a newer title that was released at the end of last year. Players can travel the expansive lands alone or in a group of up to seven players, with or against whom they can partake in organized activities. Gameplay elements incorporate shootouts, hunting, horseback riding, interacting with NPCs, and preserving the character’s honor rating through moral choices. The title has a good rating on Steam, mustering up to 82.98% positive reviews on the storefront. Red Dead Online has kept a steady player base since 2019 when it first came out. Unfortunately, the things that Battlefield 2042 got right could be counted at one’s fingertips. On the other hand, Battlefield 2042’s early access release was the calm before the storm, finally erupting into heaps of negative reviews just after hours of the game coming out. The multiplayer experience, nevertheless, has been enjoyable.
Red Dead Online was also quite the hit but it has not been free of criticisms and shortcomings.
Arthur Morgan’s character development touched the hearts of every player. Red Dead Redemption 2 was a stellar success by Rockstar Games. Battlefield 2042’s player-base continues to decline with time, as Red Dead Online exceeds in the number of concurrent players on Steam.
