Split Fiction has etched its name in gaming history by breaking a new record for Electronic Arts (EA) on Steam among paid games. The developers have masterfully captured the gaming community's attention with a launch that soared beyond expectations.

Since its recent debut on PC through Steam, Split Fiction has seen extraordinary success, outshining other EA titles. According to SteamDB data, the game hit a peak concurrent player count of over 197,000 users. This milestone represents the highest peak player count ever achieved by a paid EA game on the platform.

To put things into perspective, the nearest rival within EA's portfolio is Battlefield V, which previously set the record with a peak of 116,000 players. On the other hand, the most popular game in EA's collection remains the free-to-play Apex Legends, which boasts a peak player count of over 620,000.

Beyond its record-breaking performance, Split Fiction has received widespread acclaim from players. On Steam, the game is rated as "overwhelmingly positive," with a stellar approval rating of 98%. This not only underscores the game's commercial triumph but also its broad appeal to gamers around the globe.
