EA increases Battlefield 4 server capacity after Battlefield 2042 reveal sparks player spike

EA has increased the Battlefield 4 server capacity after a player spike following the Battlefield 2042 reveal.

In a post on EA’s website, community manager ‘Straatford’ said the company had noticed queue times in the US West region for the 2013 DICE-developed shooter were far longer than in other regions. In response, EA increased server capacity in this region, so players should expect less waiting to get into a game.

“Since then, many of you have jumped back into Battlefield 4 to already get a taste of the return to all-out-warfare. We’ve been monitoring your experience and noticed queue times in the US West region were far longer than in other regions. Good news, we’ve increased server capacity for this region – you can expect less waiting, and more playing.”
