The Battlefield 6 beta has come and gone, and by all accounts it was absolutely massive. New stats suggest it was the biggest Steam game in North America for a time, and one of the biggest games on console, too – though it seems a whole lot of Call of Duty loyalists on PlayStation and Xbox were unwilling to tear themselves away from COD to try it out.

For the week ending August 16, the Battlefield 6 beta was the top game on Steam across the US, Canada, and Mexico, as Mat Piscatella of industry analysis group Circana reports on Bluesky. It's beating out titles like Counter-Strike 2, Peak, Marvel Rivals, and Helldivers 2 for that top spot, as measured by weekly active users.
