Just last week, Battlefield 6 kicked off a whole new generation of large-scale military first-person shooters, sparking a massive wave of excitement among fans. Incredibly, within just one week, the game is reported to have crossed 7 million units sold and has grossed over $350 million. This marks a significant short-term success for EA and Battlefield Studios.
The sales data for Battlefield 6 comes from GamesIndustry.biz and its analytics partner, Alinea Analytics. According to the report, Battlefield 6 reached 7 million copies sold across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. It’s “performing better than every premium game launched this year,” only trailing behind EA Sports FC 26 in sales within a comparable timeframe.
This is a monumental first week for Battlefield 6, a title that had been highly anticipated for delivering top-tier action and combat to the franchise. Popular game modes like Conquest and Breakthrough have been enhanced, and the maps offer engaging strategic opportunities for players.
The game’s popularity is further reflected in its concurrent player numbers on Steam, where it reached a peak of over 747,000 players at once, as reported by SteamDB. While player counts have since stabilized, Battlefield 6 continues to maintain a strong presence, regularly drawing between 300,000 and 500,000 concurrent players.
