As part of the Spring Sale, Steam has a special treat for shooter fans. With a 90% discount, Battlefield 1, considered one of the highlights of the series, is currently available for just under $2.

Battlefield 1 throws players into intense multiplayer battles across the fronts of the First World War. True to the series, combat features a vast arsenal of weapons along with tanks, planes and even horses. Players can also take command of massive Behemoths such as zeppelins, battleships and armored trains, which can turn the tide of battle even in dire situations. The four soldier classes, including scout, medic, assault and support, can be leveled up individually to unlock new weapons and gear, keeping the experience engaging over the long term.

The game also features a single-player mode called War Stories, which takes players to different locations of the First World War through several standalone missions. However, the main focus remains on multiplayer, where up to 64 players engage in team-based battles. Dynamic weather, destructible environments and an epic soundtrack create a cinematic atmosphere that has been widely praised by critics. The game’s diverse battlefields range from the war-torn landscapes of France and Italy to the icy fronts of Russia and the deserts of Egypt, offering a varied and immersive experience.

Almost 160,000 reviews on Steam

Developed by DICE in partnership with Electronic Arts, Battlefield 1 was released in October 2016. Since then, it has amassed nearly 160,000 reviews on Steam, with 86% being positive. On Metacritic, it holds a Metascore of 88 and a user score of 7.4. The German magazine GameStar praised the game for its impressive presentation and expansive multiplayer mode. However, it criticized the short single-player missions and lack of historical authenticity. With its abundance of automatic weapons and fast-paced action, the gameplay often feels more like a Second World War shooter than one set in the First.

95% discount on Steam, all additional content included

The shooter is normally priced at around $40 on Steam. However, as part of the Steam Spring Sale, the Battlefield 1 Revolution package is available until March 20 with a 95% discount for around $2. This edition includes the base game along with all released DLCs. Despite its age, Battlefield 1 continues to attract a large player base, making this a tempting offer for shooter fans. According to SteamDB, the game had a 24-hour peak of 13,908 concurrent players at the time of research.
