Farming Simulator 22 Has More Active Players On Steam Than Battlefield 2042

We already warned that Farming Simulator 22 was going to be Game of the YearAlthough we said it as a joke, the funny thing about it is that the new installment of GIANTS Software has managed to sell more than 1.5 million copies in its first week on sale, being the most curious of all that it has managed to exceed in numbers of active players a Battlefield 2042.

Thanks to the SteamDB database, we know that in the last 24 hours, the maximum peak of concurrent players in Battlefield 2042 was 53,053 players, while in the Farming Simulator 22 this figure it almost doubled to 93,782 points. It is evident that it has been helped by a game that DICE has released still very green and full of bugs, but it must be remembered that GIANTS Software it is a small study, with limited resources, and that it is the first installment self-published by the company without the help of an editor, so the credit is twofold.

“I am very proud of the team and the thriving environment in which it operates,” said Giants Software CEO Christian Ammann.

“Being able to successfully build international structures to move an already huge series like Farming Simulator into a self-published brand with new impulses is not something to be taken for granted. The great collaboration with our partners has ensured a fantastic launch.”

Acting Head of Publishing Boris Stefan added that first week sales and player feedback “shows that Farming Simulator is heading in the right direction.”
