Battlefield Fans Point Out 2042’s Biggest Missed Opportunity

Following the record-breaking two-weekend open beta for Battlefield 6 in August, which attracted hundreds of thousands of players, a gap emerged in the First-Person Shooter (FPS) gaming scene. This void won’t be filled until Battlefield 6 officially launches on October 10. Consequently, the player count for Battlefield 2042 has surged dramatically. Before the conclusion of the second Battlefield 6 open beta, the peak concurrent players of Battlefield 2042 on Steam was about 13,000, but it skyrocketed post-beta, reaching a high of over 72,000 on August 26. Even as of the last 24 hours, it has remained above 56,000 players.
