Battlefield 6 is the latest installment in the Battlefield franchise and has managed to break free from the record of disastrous releases of its previous games, becoming the biggest release for the entire franchise.
During the first three days after the game was launched, the game sold over 7 million copies and had the highest concurrent player counts out of any Battlefield game. It is impossible to call this game anything other than a massive success for the company and a major relief for fans.
Bryon Beede, the General Manager of Battlefield, gave a statement following the launch of Battlefield 6: “First and foremost we want to thank our players,” he continues, “Battlefield 6 was built with our fans. From the initial concept through to the implementation of Battlefield Labs and into the record-shattering Open Beta we have been obsessed with player feedback. Together, with our players we’ve had a singular goal: to craft the best Battlefield ever. And this is just the beginning – our first season of new content is just 12 days away.”.
The success of Battlefield 6 provided the company with much-needed momentum after the disastrous release of the previous entry in the series, Battlefield 2042, which was seen by fans as a departure from what they enjoyed in the series. Battlefield 6 is set to be the next long-term installment in the franchise, with the season system providing constant updates to keep it fresh and to keep players coming back for more.
I personally played the beta when it came out, and it was a fantastic experience. If the full release is even close to what I experienced in the beta, the game is set to have a large and loyal fanbase for years to come.
