- Battlefield 6 has now secured 1.7 million pre-orders, a new report reveals.
- The game’s projected sales for the first week are a whopping 5 million units.
- Battlefield 6 will be one of the franchise’s best-selling games, but still, it’s doubtful that it’ll reach the 100 million players benchmark that EA executives expect.
Battlefield 6 releases in 8 days from now, and the hype for the game is already through the roof. Just in the beta alone, 25 million players participated, with many of them having already decided to place a pre-order for the game.
Now, a new report from The Game Business reveals that Battlefield 6 has now secured a whopping 1.7 million pre-orders. Furthermore, projected sales for the game within the first week are around 5 million copies.
Why it matters: Battlefield has been long overdue for a comeback, and 2025 might be its year. Five million sales are an impressive achievement in the first week, and in the long run, Battlefield 6 might become one of the best-selling entries in the series.
Previously, the Battlefield community was pretty distrustful of EA, refusing to place any pre-orders until the final version of the game was released. However, the beta played out so well, even better than some modern AAA final releases, that gamers decided to open up their wallets.
In the publisher’s eyes, 5 million sales may not be impressive, especially since reports reveal that over $400 million has been poured into the game’s development so far. As such, EA executives expect the game to reach 100 million players.
While reaching such a mark might be pretty unrealistic, even for a big IP like this, Battlefield 6 will still potentially have the most players in the franchise. A free Battle Royale mode for the game is planned, which is expected to be the game’s main player count driver.
Other than that, Battlefield 6 has already crushed its rival, Black Ops 7, even before release. CoD isn’t having a great 2025 so far, and has already been going downhill for the past few years. However, this year might finally be rock bottom for CoD.
Regardless of that, Battlefield 6 will get the spotlight it deserves, especially since the devs behind the game have poured everything into the development. Whether it’s performance, gameplay, or visuals, Battlefield 6 has the opportunity to become the perfect military FPS.
