- Battlefield 6 had an explosive launch and garnered over 700K CCU at one point.
- Since then, the player base has fallen, and the season 2 update hasn’t helped too much.
- This could be a worrying sign, and Battlefield 6 was the franchise’s big comeback.
Battlefield 6’s launch was a huge resurgence for the series, as it finally demolished Call of Duty in 2025 to become the mainstream FPS shooter game. Unfortunately, it has lost a huge chunk of its players in just 6 months since launch.
Today marked the release of the game’s season 2, and it was expected to make a huge comeback. However, it hasn’t managed to pull the players back in and currently has only 58K CCU, with a 24-hour peak of 97K.
Why it matters: Hitting around 100K players is normally considered a pretty good number. But considering how Battlefield 6 was averaging over 400K at one point, the decline seems rather steep in comparison.
Considering how big Battlefield 6 was with an all-time peak of over 700K players, beating Call of Duty by a massive margin, it has completely lost its way. Season 2 should’ve pushed the players right back in, but it didn’t happen.
Even the game’s recent reviews are mixed. Players have complained about its bad optimization, small maps, and failing to try to do too much. Unfortunately, this season hasn’t resolved the complaints as well.
Dice has promised that it is working on bigger maps, so that’s a bit of a saving grace. But for now, the new season has failed to take off, which should be a concerning sign, especially based on the game’s launch numbers.
In comparison, ARC Raiders, which launched in almost the same time frame, is still among the top-sellers on Steam, and is still averaging an impressive over 300K players on Steam consistently.
