Star Wars Battlefront has proven a popular choice during the holidays, with more than 12 million copies sold since its release in November.
It looks like the first-person shooter moved 6 million units in November, followed by the same number in December, meaning that the game may have brought in around $660 million in earnings.
That's according to Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter, while the game may have also seen a significant boost from the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens in Cinemas last month.
With such a high install base, it would seem likely that developers DICE would be readying themselves for the first Star Wars: Battlefront DLC drop.
We already know that there will be no Force Awakens-themed content arriving any time soon but it appears we will be learning just what will be landing very soon.

Battlefront Hero Designer Guillaume Mroz gave an update on the DLC and offline mode expansion, telling one fans: "I can only say that we’re going to announce what the DLC is about soon.
"It has to go through a ‘proper’ announcement.
"Offline multiplayer has technical difficulties that the single-player guys are definitely looking at. I can’t give any dates for that but we’re very aware of the huge request for this.”
The new DLC will be attached to the paid-for Season Pass but those who don't want to spend anymore on the title can look forward to another Battle of Jakku-style drop in the future.
DICE's executive VP, Patrick Soderlund commented: "We will be adding more of what you love about the game, like new maps and Star Cards, for free in the coming months, in addition to all of the content we have coming with Season Pass. We’ll have more to share soon.”
It appears that both Homefront: The Revolution and Mafia 3, two upcoming games being released on Xbox One, PS4 and PC, may have had their official release dates leaked.
Homefront could be released on May 17 in the United States, according to an alleged store card found at retailer Target, although no official date has yet to be announced by publisher Deep Silver.
The same style Pre-order card was found at Best Buy this week, this time confirming that Mafia 3 will launch on April 26. This release date has allegedly been corroborated at other retail stores.
Take Two Interactive revealed in 2015 that Mafia would hit shelves in 2016 during their fiscal year 2017, which would mean after April 1, 2016.
