Following Explosive Launch, Battlefield 6 Shows The Ultimate War is a Collaborative One

If you thought the record-shattering Open Beta for Battlefield 6 in August was big, then this latest news may not be too surprising. The game has officially sold over seven million copies in its first three days of launch, immediately setting a new benchmark for the series. With such an impressive launch, are there any other updates that fans should prepare for?

Battlefield 6‘s Record-Shattering Debut for the Ages

As players enthusiastically dove into the action, reports show over 172 million online matches were logged. Not only that, but more than 15 million hours of streams were watched during that opening weekend. Despite so many players flooding the servers, one has to wonder if anyone is actually getting any work done. Thanks to the developers working alongside its passionate community, Battlefield 6 experienced an incredible start in its launch.

According to Byron Beede, the General Manager of Battlefield, player feedback was the central focus from the initial concept straight through to the final polish. The team’s obsession with community input led to sharing a singular goal with fans to create the ultimate experience. Despite the game’s promising start, these developers never saw the launch as a finish line, but as a starting point for a much larger journey.

Given the results of this collaborative approach, will players finally stop blaming random glitches on their own lack of skill? Executive Vice President Vince Zampella specifically thanked the global studios and the fans who got behind Battlefield 6, helping it reach this milestone. While the developers are clearly thrilled that so many people joined them for this momentous launch, they remind fans that even more content is just around the corner.

A Connected Universe Begins Its Reign

Battlefield 6 throws players into chaos on an unprecedented scale, featuring brand new multiplayer modes and a blockbuster single-player campaign. Moreover, the game includes a host of enhancements that create a remarkable sandbox for explosive fun. Furthermore, fans should get excited as the celebrated Portal mode is making a comeback, offering powerful creator tools that players are already using to build wonderfully absurd and creative battles.

With this feature, players can turn their own imaginations into the most dangerous weapon ever seen in a modern shooter. The ultimate goal of this explosive launch was to create a connected Battlefield universe, with Season 1, titled Rogue Ops, kicking off imminently. It’ll introduce a new map called Blackwell Fields and a tense new 4v4 mode that players will love to experience. The developers have already thought of plans to release seasonal content consistently. Given that the next two phases of Season 1 are arriving later this year, will players even have time to play other games?
