It's T-minus three days until Battlefield 6's launch, and with every hour that passes, I get even more excited. But my sheer joy at the prospect of jumping into blissful chaos is also somewhat overshadowed by the rising dread that the servers simply won't be able to cope.
Battlefield games have a rather unfavourable track record of borking their servers on launch as more people than expected pile in. To be fair, so do most multiplayer online games. But Battlefield 6 lead producer David Sirland seems to think all will be OK when Friday rolls around. "Should be! We are planning for that, of course, and the open beta helped gauge the interest as well," Sirland said (via GamesRadar) in response to a fan question about whether the servers would be ready.
