Despite only being officially announced very recently, Battlefield 6 — an upcoming new entry in Electronic Arts and DICE's long-running large-scale multiplayer FPS franchise — has rapidly become one of 2025's most highly anticipated releases, and has strong potential to be one of the biggest games of the year.
Following months of closed-doors alpha testing in Battlefield Labs, it was shown off publicly with an explosive multiplayer reveal that received high praise from fans, media, and content creators alike. An extremely popular Open Beta that ran during two weekends in August soon followed, generating further hype and even beating Call of Duty's player count record on Steam.
