Electronic Arts' and Battlefield Studios' new large-scale multiplayer FPS Battlefield 6 was expected to perform well when it launched in early October, but since its release, it's gone above and beyond all expectations. In the immediate days after launch, it accrued 750K concurrent players on Steam alone, and in its opening weekend, it sold over 7 million copies.
It's now been confirmed that Battlefield 6 is the best-selling game of 2025, as well as the best-selling FPS of the year and October's most profitable title. That astounding success can largely be attributed to the shooter's excellent gunplay and the fact that it's a return to form for Battlefield overall, complete with a traditional class-based structure, tons of weapons and gadgets to unlock, and a healthy variety of maps and modes to jump into.
