Battlefield 6 Outshines Call of Duty in One Key Aspect

Sure, here’s a messy, human-like rewrite:

So, guess what? Battlefield 6 just pulled off something wild with its public beta launch. It hit this crazy peak of over 521,000 players on Steam. I mean, that’s a pretty big deal, especially since it’s more than any Call of Duty game has ever managed on there. Honestly, this is major bragging rights for Battlefield. Maybe we’re looking at a killer comeback, not that I’m counting chickens before they hatch, or whatever that saying is.

Oh, and by the way, EA opened up Battlefield 6’s beta on August 9 – hundreds of thousands just dove right in. It was nuts! It’s like it left Battlefield 2042’s player count of 156,000 in the dust. I was supposed to keep track of how quickly it grew, but, oops, I got caught up watching numbers jump around like popcorn. It’s gonna keep rolling until August 10, or so they say, and the numbers are just climbing. Every. Single. Hour. Crazy, right?

Okay, listen to this: Battlefield 6 hit 521,079 players at one time on Steam. Smash! No Call of Duty game even got close. The highest they ever hit was around 491,000. And here’s the kicker: Battlefield 6 hasn’t even officially launched yet. It’s slated for October 10. Two months away! But there it was, sitting pretty as the third most played game on Steam, right behind those big dogs, Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2. Let’s see if it really sticks.

Think about it. If over half a million players showed up on Steam, can you imagine what it’s like across all platforms? We might be talking a million folks trying out the open beta. And that’s before the official launch. Weirdly brings to mind the flop of Battlefield 2042, poor thing. Maybe Battlefield is redeeming itself? Seems possible unless Call of Duty decides to pull a rabbit out of their hat. Doubt it though, but hey, stranger things have happened!

You know, it’s funny how beta numbers can fool us. Like, Battlefield 2042 did okay during its beta, but once the game actually launched, it dropped like a rock to 107K. Not trying to jinx it for Battlefield 6, just thinking out loud here. Gonna be interesting to see what happens as the beta wraps up. Right now, buzz around Battlefield 6 feels pretty positive.

Anyway, the game officially drops October 10. Let’s hope they keep this momentum going. Fun times ahead for Battlefield fans. I’ll be watching — maybe with popcorn.
