Battlefield 6 had an explosive start on Steam, reaching over 500,000 players just 25 minutes after launch. This huge number of players caused server queues, meaning many gamers had to wait in line to get into the game. Some players reported seeing hundreds of thousands of people ahead of them, but the lines were moving quickly.
The excitement around Battlefield 6 is not a surprise. The game has received a lot of attention, and many fans feel it brings back the classic Battlefield experience they love. Even people who have not followed the series closely can see the hype building up around this release.
Part of the reason for this big launch is that other popular shooter franchises like Call of Duty have not been exciting players as much lately. With fewer exciting options, many shooter fans are trying out Battlefield 6 to see if it can become their new favorite.
Battlefield 6 outperformed several well known games and shot up to become one of the most played games on Steam at launch. With such a huge start, Battlefield 6 is set to make a big impact in the gaming world.
