The highly anticipated Battlefield 6 has launched its open beta, and it has already made history as the series' largest beta test to date. On Steam alone, the shooter has achieved an impressive peak of 473,632 concurrent players. This remarkable number places Battlefield 6 among the most-played games of the weekend, trailing only behind popular titles such as Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, and PUBG.
This open beta is not just a milestone for the franchise; it has also secured its position as the twenty-second biggest game on Steam ever. Battlefield 6 surpassed the previous record held by Monster Hunter Wilds, which peaked at 463,798 concurrent players during its own PC beta back in February. The excitement surrounding Battlefield 6's open beta is palpable, and EA has confirmed this achievement via their official social media channels.
As the peak gaming hours approach, players should be prepared for expected queues. EA has acknowledged the high demand and is actively working to improve entry times for the game. They appreciate players' patience as they manage the influx of participants eager to experience the open beta. EA's commitment to ensuring a smooth and fair open beta for all players, including those already in the game, is commendable. The community's enthusiasm for Battlefield 6 is evident, and EA has expressed their gratitude for this support.
Battlefield 6 is set to officially release on October 10th, but the open beta allows players to dive in early during this weekend and the next. Everyone who requested access to the Battlefield 6 Labs tests has been granted entry to these weekend tests, leading to a significant number of participants. For those who may not be able to log in this weekend, there is still an opportunity to complete the Weekend 1 challenges next week.
If you are eager to try out the Battlefield 6 beta, there are still avenues available to potentially secure a code. However, be mindful of the anticipated queues if you do receive access. The excitement around Battlefield 6 demonstrates the game’s strong community interest, and it promises to be an exhilarating experience for both new and returning players.
