Battlefield 6 on track to do "the best Battlefield has ever done" and pass one million in Steam pre-orders, analyst predicts


Battlefield 6 is on track to do "the best Battlefield has ever done" according to Alinea Analytics analyst Rhys Elliott.

| Image credit: EA Eurogamer: Reports earlier this year stated that there's an internal goal for 100m lifetime players, a large part of that assumedly tied to the free battle royale mode. Call of Duty is in a bit of a creative lul and an identity crisis, with Nikki Minaj shooting Beavis and Butthead while Snoop Dogg is twerking in the background. "This could- and that's a big could - be a turning point in which a few years down the line the tides could shift, but saying that Battlefield is going to boot stomp CoD in terms of sales and mind share is a bit of a wild thing to say."
