- Battlefield 6 is the most wishlisted game on Steam with over 500,000 wishlists last weekend.
- The FPS is also trending ahead of FC 26 and Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.
- The anticipation around the title has only been increasing since the first trailer launched.
The hype for Battlefield 6 was already through the roof before the trailer came out last week, but now, the upcoming FPS is starting to hit new heights. The trailer got more likes than the teaser for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 in just one hour, and the game is also set to skip Last-gen consoles for maximum performance.
This wave of incessant marketing is reflecting well on Battlefield 6, with the shooting title rising up the charts on Steam while beating out multiple big names.
Why This Matters: EA has set a rather demanding goal of 100 million players for Battlefield 6, and the game needs all the anticipation it can gather to achieve it.
As per SteamDB, Battlefield 6 is the most wishlisted game on the platform right now, surpassing popular releases like Wuchang: Fallen Feathers and Killing Floor 3. Furthermore, over 500,000 players have wishlisted the title over the weekend through July 27, as per data from Alinea Analytics.
Incredibly, at least 60% of these wishlists are from users who have played Battlefield 2042 on Steam. Hence, the anticipated FPS will have a remarkable retention rate of players from the previous game in the franchise.
In addition, the shooting title is also among the top trending games this week on Steam, ahead of big hitters like Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater and EA Sports FC 26. With the Battlefield 6 reveal event happening on July 31, these numbers are only going to go up as interest in the game increases.
EA has also announced an open beta of the game in addition to a Battle Royale mode, which will launch in 2026. Hence, Battlefield 6 will have a steady flurry of players to help it reach the unbelievable 100 million users goal, but it’s only possible if the game is good.
The Publisher has invested over $400 million into the game and has fixed issues based on player feedback to make something the fans will like. However, only time will tell if the game will reach its goal despite having an €80 price tag.
