Top 10 Rated Ultimate Team Players in EA Sports FC 24

Halo Infinite is enjoying a modest resurgence following the release of Season 5: Reckoning.

The Payday 3 Steam player count has fallen 90% in less than a month, while predecessor Payday 2 is currently experiencing a surge in popularity on Valve’s platform. After hitting an all-time high for concurrent players just after launch, during a recent period, Payday 3 has dropped to number 153 on the Steam most-played chart, well below Payday 2, as it seemingly struggles to retain around 10% of its peak playerbase.

I really wanted to like The Lord of the Rings Gollum. While the premise was a little more obscure than other LotR games, the character’s complexity and the advertised Smeagol vs Gollum system piqued my interest. However, Gollum’s bizarre underground adventure failed to live up to expectations – something that its Steam player count reflects.

A new BattleBit update is here to breathe even more life into the multiplayer shooter, as a new map, XP changes and a series of quality-of-life improvements come to the game. The 2.1.9 update comes at a time when BattleBit’s player count is the lowest it’s ever been, though, with the current player numbers around just 12.5% of what they were at launch, or roughly a 90% drop off.

Redfall, Arkane Austin’s co-op vampire shooter. Arguably ill-fated from the get-go and marred by performance issues at launch, the game largely only remains notable for its failure to take off, having disappeared into relative obscurity since its release back in May. When I say ‘obscurity,’ though, I didn’t expect to find that, if you’re playing on Steam, there are times of day when you won’t actually be able to form a full co-op lobby because there aren’t enough people playing.

The number of concurrent players of Redfall on Steam has dropped so low that it now reaches single figures every day.

EA Sports FC 24 players are fuming at an Ultimate Team mode card pack costing around £30.

Using the best Formations in Ultimate Team has always been vital and it is no different in . Despite the series changing its name from, Ultimate Team remains the mode to play in this year's game. While the main aspect of Ultimate Team sees players build their squad full of the world's best players, small changes in formation can make a difference in tight matches.

Ultimate Team is EA’s controversial cash cow that brings in hundreds of millions of dollars to the publisher’s coffers every year. While FIFA players are well used to EA Sports adding expensive and powerful card packs later in the year-long life of the annualised football game, with the launch of FC 24, the community has reacted in shock to a $30 pack available to buy before the game even properly launched.

If at first you don't succeed, patch, patch, and patch again. You might already have noticed, but Cyberpunk 2077 is having a bit of a renaissance this month, on the back of its sweeping 2.0 update and yesterday's release of its (really rather good) Phantom Liberty expansion. In No Man's Sky-like fashion, Cyberpunk seems like it's finally making good three years after its disastrous launch, and hey, it looks like people are taking notice.

Phantom Liberty, the long-awaited expansion to Polish video game developer CD Projekt's flagship game "Cyberpunk 2077", received a "very positive" rating on the Steam platform that sells digital copies of games for PCs.
