EA's Free-To-Play Community Tops 25 Million Players
With a game library including Battlefield Heroes, Need For Speed World, Dragon Age Legends, and Lord of Ultima, Electronic Arts has announced that its free-to-play community has now topped 25 million players worldwide. The press release also makes mention of thanking the community with a code that will unlock 300 Battlefunds in Battlefield Heroes (EQ9M-TYYT-TXR3-5GU3).
“Developing a community of 25 million players is a remarkable achievement. It is a testament to the explosive growth of the free-to-play market and a reflection of EA’s commitment to spearheading the digital transformation. We plan to continue to innovate in the category, introduce new gameplay that delights players and keeps them coming back for more,” said Play4Free VP Sean Decker.
Up next for EA's Play4Free community is Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances, a new browser-based MMO.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
