Battlefield 6 Is Already Doing Call of Duty-Like Numbers

Battlefield 6 has officially launched to a roaring success. Within just five days of release, it’s already pulling Call of Duty-like numbers across major gaming platforms.

Since its global launch on October 10, the game has been one of EA’s biggest openings in years. Battlefield 6’s early success comes after months of hype, strong beta feedback, and massive anticipation from both new and returning players.

Battlefield 6 Beats Call of Duty Beta Numbers

During beta weekends, Battlefield 6 dominated the charts on Steam. It reached over 520,000 concurrent players, while Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 peaked around 99,000.

These early figures showed just how strong Battlefield’s player interest was before launch. Many players saw this as a major win for EA’s shooter franchise — signalling a full comeback after years of mixed receptions in earlier entries.

Battlefield 6 Sells Over 7 Million Units in Five Days

According to data shared with GamesIndustry.biz, Battlefield 6 has sold over 7 million copies across all platforms in its first five days.

Alinea Analytics writer Rhys Elliot estimated that EA has already generated around $350 million in revenue from these sales. Steam accounts for nearly 57% of the total, followed by 24% on PlayStation 5 and 20% on Xbox Series consoles.

In the UK, Battlefield 6 topped weekly sales charts for the week ending October 11, even surpassing EA Sports FC 26.

Launch day itself was huge — Battlefield 6 sold 1.8 million copies on Steam alone, generating over $100 million in a single day. Steam’s daily active user numbers for the title remain consistent, averaging between 2.3 and 2.5 million players.

Twitch Viewership and Drops Drive Even More Interest

Twitch Drops have also contributed to the hype. Battlefield 6 streams have hit 865,000 concurrent viewers, as fans tune in to claim exclusive rewards and watch high-level gameplay.

This kind of engagement not only fuels player interest but also extends the game’s visibility among potential new players who might join to claim in-game prizes.

EA Responds Quickly to Launch Issues

Despite its success, launch day wasn’t entirely smooth. Some players reported being unable to access Battlefield 6 through the EA App, with messages saying they didn’t own the game.

EA quickly acknowledged and fixed the issue, offering affected users free in-game boosters and a Season Pass as compensation.

The fast response helped maintain the game’s positive reception post-launch, showing EA’s commitment to community satisfaction.

What Comes Next for Battlefield 6

As of now, EA hasn’t officially confirmed these exact sales figures. However, internal data strongly supports that Battlefield 6 is one of the best-selling FPS titles of the year. With Season 1 launching on October 28, EA aims to keep players hooked with new maps, modes, and weapons before Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 drops on November 14.

Interestingly, data shows that about 3% of Battlefield players also have Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 wishlisted on Steam — suggesting a competitive overlap that could shift in the coming weeks.

Whether BF6 can maintain its momentum will depend on how well EA sustains updates and player engagement throughout its first season.
