Battlefield 6 has biggest launch in franchise history

Earlier this week, an analytics firm predicted that Battlefield 6 had sold over seven million copies during its first five days on the market. Now, EA appears to have official numbers in hand, brandishing Battlefield 6 as the biggest launch in series history.

EA has confirmed that Battlefield 6 sold over 7 million copies at launch, with that number split between platforms like Steam, the EA App, Epic Games Store, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Aside from the high sales numbers, the game also saw high watch time across various gaming streams, with over 15 million accumulative hours watched.

In a statement, Battlefield general manager, Byron Beede, said: “First and foremost we want to thank our players. Battlefield 6 was built with our fans. From the initial concept through to the implementation of Battlefield Labs and into the record-shattering Open Beta we have been obsessed with player feedback. Together, with our players we've had a singular goal: to craft the best Battlefield ever. And this is just the beginning – our first season of new content is just 12 days away”.

Battlefield 6 will get its first round of post-launch content later this month. On top of that, the game's big Battle Royale mode is also set to debut.
