Star Wars Battlefront 2 is seeing a swell of popularity after it was available for free for a limited period on the Epic Game Store.
Player numbers have increased so much that EA felt the need to thank players for their support.
Battlefront 2 lives again
Star Wars fans were able to pick up Battlefront 2 via the Epic Game Store a couple of weeks ago, and 19 million people took them up on the offer.
The huge swell of players saw EA's servers take a hit, presumably they weren't expecting quite so many people to join.
It was widely reported that the servers couldn't handle the new influx of players, with EA Help stepping in to let people know that Error Messages 623 and 918 would be solved after they scaled up the servers.

The publisher reached out to players, saying "Thank you so much for the continued support even after our final content drop" and promised to "watch your careers with great interest!"
It's doubtful that anything may be in the works for Battlefront 2 in the future, but there's always a slim chance after a game gets a revival like this
