Das trifft den Nagel auf den Kopf, es zählen Spielerzahlen nicht Zuschauerzahlen.
JOIN THE PTS FOR A CATACLYSM SNEAK PEEK
Anthem PC players can join the Public Test Server for an advance look at the first elements of a Cataclysm
https://www.ea.com/games/anthem/news/play-cataclysm-early-on-pc-with-public-test-server
There’s a storm on the horizon. Something big is on the way. A Cataclysm is coming, and if you own the game on PC or are a current Origin Access Premier subscriber, you can get an early look with the new Public Test Server* – available starting June 4.
What Is a Cataclysm?
It's a season-long event with new enemies to fight, mysteries to uncover, and power to be gained.
What Is the Anthem Public Test Server?
It’s a way for Anthem PC players to share their feedback about the upcoming Cataclysm experience before it’s available to everyone. Currently, the Public Test Server (PTS) is only available on PC (and in English), to anyone who owns Anthem on PC or is an active Origin Access Premier subscriber.
What Else Do I Need to Know About the PTS?
Here are the key points:
- When: starting June 4 (While we’re testing new content on the PTS, there will be occasional downtime for server restarts or maintenance, and there may be additional patches to download – see Twitter for the latest updates.)
- Who can play: all current Anthem PC owners or anyone with an active Origin Access Premier subscription.
- Where you can find it: visit your game library on Origin.com.
- How to give feedback: visit the PTS Forums.
All eligible players will find a special Anthem PTS tile in their game library on Origin. Just click on the tile to start the download, accept the PTS Agreement, and you’ll be able to begin playing on June 4. That’s all there is to it, no additional registration or special sign-ins. Just download, opt-in for the PTS on the main screen by accepting the PTS Agreement, and play.
You won’t be able to bring your current javelins, currency, XP, or any other items into the Public Test Server, nor will you be able to take anything earned in the PTS back to your regular version of the game. You’ll enter the PTS at level 30 and with all four javelins unlocked, so you can focus your time and attention on the Cataclysm itself instead of worrying about leveling up.
While the Public Test Server is available, you’ll have a chance to explore new areas, take on tough enemies, and face some of the deadliest weather events the world of Anthem can throw at you. You’ll also have the chance to let us know what you like (or don’t like) about what you’re experiencing. Feel free to visit the
PTS Forums to leave your feedback for the game team and discuss what you’ve seen and done with your fellow Freelancers.

Matchmaking Changes with 1.2.0
https://answers.ea.com/t5/News-Updates/Matchmaking-Changes-with-1-2-0/td-p/7902831
In update 1.2.0 we made some changes to matchmaking to improve the player experience. You may see longer wait times for certain activities, but this should allow for having a greater chance for being matching up with other players instead of being put into an empty game.
In addition to this, we've extended the times that will allow players to back-fill existing missions and strongholds.
_
UPDATE 1: The team is aware that some players are experiencing longer than intended matchmaking times after the 1.2.0 update. They are currently testing a potential fix. We will update this thread when we have additional updates.
_
UPDATE 2: We've made some changes so that matchmaking should be quicker. The max time that a player should be in matchmaking is 3 minutes. If you experience a timer longer than this please let us know over in the bug reports section of Answers HQ.
