The first weekend of the extremely popular Battlefield 6 Open Beta has now come and went, with the public playtest achieving a colossal 500K+ player count milestone on Steam that tops Call of Duty's record — and that's to say nothing of its performance on Xbox, PS5, and other platforms. Excitement for the beta was nothing short of sky-high, as over 40,000 players sat in the game's menu to simply wait for launch days in advance.
Unsurprisingly, all of that interest and those server-busting player numbers led to a veritable mountain of fan feedback about the large-scale multiplayer FPS — feedback that the developers at DICE and other Electronic Arts (EA) studios have now begun to comb through ahead of the second Open Beta weekend that runs from August 14-17. And thankfully, one of the beta's biggest problems thus far is being looked into.
