On a conference call dedicated to the quarterly financial report, the head of EA Andrew Wilson acknowledged the problems of the game Battlefield 2042. At the same time, the game itself was not included in this report, but it was discussed.

On the call, it was announced that the game is not in the best condition. The reasons for the poor implementation of Battlefield 2042 were remote development, unexpected performance issues, and even individual game design decisions that did not resonate with the audience. However, it was noted that the game behaved normally on tests. But after the launch, problems began, due to which the company's earnings forecast was reduced by $100 million. But EA still plans to fix and develop the game, the first story game season has been postponed to the summer of 2022. However, one of the insiders talking to Electronic Arts employees said that the company is unlikely to bet on the game.

The fact that the game is not in the best condition now, the players noted at the start of the game. Having announced the release of several patches, the developers still did not fix the situation with the fundamental problems of the game. And now the number of people playing Battlefield 2042 has fallen below that of Battlefield 1 and Battlefield 5. The gaming industry knows an example when failed projects were straightened to a digestible state at the start. In such cases, No Man Sky is often remembered. But this is more of an exception than the rule. Although the multiplayer game Fallout 76 launched by Bethesda also suffered from a bunch of bugs at the start, at the moment a lot of things have been fixed and added content.

Perhaps with Battlefield 2042 will be the same.

As for the rest of the report, everything looks more or less rosy in it. The best-selling game in the West was FIFA22 with its surprise mechanics. Apex Legends is seeing growth with a 30% increase in monthly players.
