Standing as one of the best-known shooters in gaming history, albeit with a bit of a diminished player count compared to its heyday, Battlefield 6 is still proving to be a hit with loyal fans and explosion enthusiasts alike. The developers recently opened the game to practically everyone with an "Open Beta", though it actually required a bit of foresight to play during its initial "Early Access" window — yes, it was all a bit confusing.
Nevertheless, we still saw around 40,000 people sitting idle in the game's menus before it was actually playable, which says a lot about the implied excitement around this entry's return to a modern warfare theme. Personally, I hadn't paid any serious attention to the series since Battlefield: Bad Company 2 consumed all my free time around 2010.
