Star Wars: Battlefront II was recently free on the Epic Games Store, and the promotional period was massively successful for the sci-fi shooter.
Publisher Electronic Arts has announced that the game reached more than 19 million players as part of the promotion. “Thank you so much for the continued support, even after our final content drop! We’ll watch your careers with great interest. May the Force be with your troopers!” EA said in a tweet celebrating the accomplishment.

It’s not clear if all 19 million of these players are new to Battlefront II or if there is overlap between people who had already downloaded the game and elected to pick it up again on the Epic Games Store. Whatever the case, 19 million is a gargantuan number.
