- Battlefield 6 sold over 6.5 million copies within four days of its launch, with the PC platform leading as the top platform.
- Steam accounts for nearly 57% of players, outselling both PlayStation and Xbox combined by a wide margin.
- Over 60% of Battlefield 6 players on Steam have previously played Warzone, showing how many are now leaning toward Battlefield 6.
When the Battlefield 6 multiplayer trailer was revealed, the fandom went wild. Following the trailer, a beta was released that received an overwhelmingly positive reception. It reached over 520,000 concurrent players on Steam. After the beta, many fans had already pre-ordered the game, and it stayed at the top spot for quite some time.
The game was recently released and quickly surpassed 740,000 concurrent players on Steam. Players initially had to wait in queues, which shows just how overwhelming the response was.
Now, according to a recent report, the game has already sold over 6.5 million copies.
Why it matters: Activision initially did not consider Battlefield 6 a serious threat, but that assumption has proven to be wrong. The game has shown strong dominance, and the fandom is clearly leaning in its favor.
Alinea Analytics, a firm that specializes in gathering data from various platforms to provide estimates, reports that Battlefield 6 has sold over 6.5 million copies worldwide.
Keep in mind, it has been just over four days since the game launched, making this an incredibly impressive achievement. The game has already generated $350 million in revenue, and with such a strong reception, it is expected to break several records.
It is worth noting that the game’s primary fan base is on PC, with nearly 57% of players coming from Steam. Xbox and PlayStation account for 19.6% and 23.7% of the player base, respectively.
On Steam, the game has sold over 3.5 million copies. On PS5, sales are above 1.5 million, while Xbox sales have surpassed 1.2 million. Even when combining both console platforms, PC is still leading by a significant margin.
Interestingly, over 60% of Steam players who are now playing Battlefield 6 have previously played Call of Duty: Warzone, highlighting a major shift in player preference toward Battlefield.
It is also worth mentioning that a significant portion of Battlefield 6 players on Steam had skipped Battlefield 2042. Around 45% never played 2042 on the platform, and about 37% had not on PS5 either.
