Battlefield 6 sells seven million copies at launch, sets franchise records for EA

It was clear that Battlefield 6 was a hit out of the gate, thanks to all the player numbers it was showing off just on the PC version. Now, EA has confirmed that this has been the biggest launch for the franchise ever.

During the first three days of launch, Battlefield 6 had sold over seven million copies across all platforms. EA did not give any platform splits on how it sold across PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.

“First and foremost we want to thank our players,” said Byron Beede, General Manager of Battlefield. “Battlefield 6 was built with our fans. From the initial concept through to the implementation of Battlefield Labs and into the record-shattering Open Beta we have been obsessed with player feedback. Together, with our players we’ve had a singular goal: to craft the best Battlefield ever. "

EA also shared some more player and gameplay stats from the launch. Concurrent players had been another record-breaking metric, which had happened during the first launch weekend. Meanwhile, so far, over 172 million matches have been played by the community, while 15 million hours of Battlefield 6 have been watched on streaming services like Twitch.

“We never take moments like this for granted, so I want to express our sincere gratitude to our global Battlefield Studios and passionate community that has helped get us to this point,” said Vince Zampella, Executive Vice President. “We appreciate you joining us for Battlefield 6’s momentous launch. We have so much more to come in the weeks ahead.”

With the launch behind it, Battlefield Studios is now working on shipping the first seasonal content update. Season 1 is slated to land on October 28, carrying a new map and new modes.

Battlefield 6 is available on PC (Steam, the EA App, and the Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
