War is hell. Also, war is irresistible. That's if Battlefield 6's launch concurrents, which smashed past GTA 5, Among Us, Starfield, and other heavy-hitters to become the 20th most-played game in SteamDB's records about, uh, 25 minutes after launching. As I write this, the game sits at a current and all-time peak of 521,000 concurrent players. I think most of them are in a queue. Queues, like hell, do the numbers.
This is quite impressive, and I imagine is just the kind of thing that DICE and, less salubriously, EA wanted to see when it hit the big red launch button on its latest entry in the series.
