Battlefield 6 open beta is already Steam's most popular Battlefield game with a peak of 330,000+ concurrent players, doubling the record of the 2042 beta and tripling 2042 itself in just hours

So popular, in fact, that now that the beta's doors have finally opened, it already has the highest concurrent player peak out of any other game in the series on Steam. After spending more hours than I can count filling The University of Sheffield's student newspaper with Pokemon and indie game content, and picking up a degree in Journalism Studies, I started my career at GAMINGbible where I worked as a journalist for over a year and a half.
