Battlefield 6 open beta hopefuls are reporting 48,000-player queues before the beta's even started, but Secure Boot errors and shader compilations mean PC players probably should be getting an early start

Battlefield 6.

Battlefield 6 beta access hasn't even begun yet, but that hasn't stopped eager players from absolutely flooding the servers trying to get an early taste. Pre-loaded Battlefield 6 players have already made an impact on the Steam charts, and it seems they're still trucking in by the bucketful, with some folks landing in queues upwards of 50,000 players long.

There have been numerous reports of long queues in the beta as of this morning, but the biggest I've seen comes from this Reddit post reporting a position of 48,100th in line. It's probably too early for doom and gloom about the state of the beta servers – I hopped into the pre-loaded beta just a few minutes ago without any queue time, so the lines might just have been a quirk of the servers spinning up.
