It's been a pretty darn good year for Electronic Arts (EA) and Battlefield Studios, to put it lightly. Battlefield 6 — the latest entry in their legendary long-running large-scale FPS franchise, Battlefield — has been a wild success across Xbox, PC, and PS5, with several hundreds of thousands of concurrent players for many weeks after its early October launch and 7 million copies sold during its opening weekend.
It would ultimately go on to become the best-selling game of 2025, with Season 1 updates and the launch of the free-to-play battle royale Battlefield REDSEC helping to maintain the game's popularity. Its numbers have tapered off and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 outsold it in November, but it still maintains a very strong player base and all signs point to it remaining the year's overall best seller.
