According to SteamDB, Battlefield 6 reached an impressive 747,440 concurrent players at the time of writing, and the number keeps climbing. For comparison, Call of Duty’s record sits at 491,670. The new entry has also smashed its open beta peak of 521,000 players, proving that excitement for the full release is stronger than ever.
The hype has been building since the open-beta weekends, where players got a taste of smaller maps and limited features. Now, the full-scale version is live, and fans are flooding in to experience all-out warfare once again.
The game brings back large-scale infantry and vehicle battles, complete with fighter jets, tanks, and intense tactical destruction. It also introduces the new Kinesthetic Combat System, a global campaign, various multiplayer modes, and the returning sandbox mode, Portal. A battle royale mode is also on the way.
Meanwhile, EA DICE confirmed that Battlefield 6 will not use generative AI, a decision welcomed by many fans.
