Battlefield 6 open beta set new records

The Battlefield 6 open beta was a huge success across both of its weekends. DICE has had a week now to collect all of the stats and as predicted, this beta set new records for the franchise. 

The Battlefield 6 open beta set a record high player count across all platforms, and beyond that, the open beta also set viewership records, with over 30 million hours streamed.

Over the two beta weekends, over 420 million matches were played, making up over 92 million hours' worth of gameplay. The change to traditional classes has also gone down well, with a very close to even split amongst all four. According to DICE, 32% of players went with Assault, 26% went with Support, 23% went with Engineer and 19% went with Recon.

Ahead of the launch on October 10th, DICE will now be making targeted adjustments to movement, weapons and maps to address player feedback.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
