It's been four years since we've had a big Battlefield release on our hands (and the last one didn't exactly pan out very well, to say the least), but that's changed today with the explosive launch of Battlefield 6 across Xbox, PC, and PS5. Going in, Electronic Arts' (EA) new FPS was expected to skyrocket to the top of player charts and become one of 2025's biggest games — and so far, it's living up to that expectation and then some.
Just hours after the game's arrival on Friday morning, Battlefield 6 soared to a peak concurrent player count of 747,440 on Steam alone, according to SteamDB data; that's just shy of a whopping 750K milestone, and it makes the shooter the 14th most-played game of all time on Steam, just behind Baldur's Gate 3 and ahead of Goose Goose Duck.
