"Both Battlefield 6, and Black Ops 7 have now launched, and though exact sales figures may never be detrmined (though EA did announce 7 million sold in the first week), it's very clear at this point from every metric we can see that BF6 came out on top this year. The recent Black Ops 7 launch clearly hasn't made many people happy, so just like Activision made Black Ops 6 free to play at BF6's launch, EA has now done the same with its own game. The Battlefield 6 free trial, which was announced last week, is just an hour away at the time of this writing."
"This is the first trial for the core game, and it arrives some six weeks after Battlefield 6 officialy launched, and four weeks following the release of the free-to-play Battlefield Redsec, which has battle royale and other components. Beyond all the drama surrounding the two rival shooter franchises, the Battlefield 6 trial is itself pretty straightfoward, and is notably nowhere near as genrous as some of the Call of Duty ones we've seen recently. The trial goes live today at 4am PT, 7am ET, 12pm GMT across all platforms, and will be available for a week; ending Tuesday, December 2. It includes three core maps: Siege of Cairo, Eastwood, and Blackwell Fields."
EA and Activision engaged in competitive launch tactics around top multiplayer shooters. Battlefield 6 recorded strong performance, with EA announcing seven million copies sold in the first week and metrics indicating it topped Black Ops 7. Activision ran free weekends around BF6’s major moments to try to capture players. EA launched a Battlefield 6 free trial about six weeks after launch and four weeks after Battlefield Redsec’s release. The trial lasts one week, includes three core maps (Siege of Cairo, Eastwood, Blackwell Fields), offers Conquest, Breakthrough, Sabotage, and Team Deathmatch, and had no apparent level or XP caps. A major matchmaking outage occurred as the trial went live.
