Battlefield 6 Is Already Off to a Flying Start

by

As a thrilled fan, I can’t help but feel ecstatic that Battlefield 6 is already dominating sales charts on both PlayStation 5 and Steam, barely 24 hours after its major multiplayer unveiling event. Despite the game not officially launching until October 10, the palpable excitement surrounding the series’ comeback has clearly reached a boiling point, as fans are eagerly awaiting the chance to re-engage in the high-adrenaline shooter. Already claiming the top spot on two distinct platforms, Battlefield 6 is undeniably setting the stage for an explosive return.

For four long years, I’ve been eagerly waiting for a fresh installment in the Battlefield series from EA and DICE. However, the release of Battlefield 2042 left many of us fans severely disappointed. The game was plagued with bugs, missing essential features like a server browser and scoreboard, and it abandoned the classic class system we’ve come to love. Criticism poured in from all corners, but despite these setbacks, there’s a renewed sense of optimism for Battlefield 6. EA seems to have listened to our feedback and is poised to deliver an experience that could very well go down as one of the best in the series. The excitement surrounding this shooter game is sky-high, with Battlefield 6 already making impressive strides.

Every year, Call of Duty dominates the sales rankings. However, this year could see EA challenging the reigning FPS champion with Battlefield 6. With a few months left until the new Battlefield game hits shelves, only time will reveal the outcome. Nonetheless, Battlefield 6 is already making waves, as reported by CharlieIntel. On both PlayStation 5 and Steam, Battlefield 6 currently leads in pre-orders, surpassing titles like EA Sports FC 26, Mafia: The Old Country, and NBA 2K26. Given this early success, it’s evident that 2021 could be a significant year for Battlefield.

Battlefield 6 Is Already Topping Sales Charts

This year presents a unique opportunity for Battlefield 6 to surpass Call of Duty, as it currently stands in the shadow of Black Ops 7. However, a fierce battle awaits on August 7, when Battlefield 6 enters its beta phase, directly competing with Black Ops 6, the current Call of Duty title. The day carries significance for both games, as Black Ops 6 launches its major Season 5 update concurrently with Battlefield 6’s first beta testing. Fans of first-person shooters will find themselves in a tough choice: whether to opt for another round of Call of Duty updates or the chance to experience the new Battlefield game for the first time.

2024 saw impressive sales for Call of Duty, but Black Ops 6 has been mired in controversy since its October launch. The gaming community is signaling to publisher Activision that they’re losing patience with frequent collaborations, extravagant cosmetic items, and underwhelming seasonal updates. Despite Season 3 re-attracting many players to Warzone due to the return of Verdansk, fans appear to be clamoring for a more authentic, realistic shooter experience. It seems like Battlefield 6 could be poised to capitalize on this demand at just the right moment.

It’s been buzzing around that Black Ops 7 might let players bring over their previously bought cosmetic items from Black Ops 6, meaning another year filled with cartoon-style operator skins could be on the horizon. Contrastingly, Battlefield 6 has announced a more realistic approach to skins and cosmetic items, aligning with its shooter theme. Given the apparent weariness among many Call of Duty fans towards collaborations and skins, this could mark the first time in a while that Battlefield 6 might genuinely challenge Call of Duty.
