Battlefield 6's open beta has launched, achieving over 314,000 peak concurrent players on Steam, indicating significant interest. The beta is available on additional platforms, including PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Server issues have arisen, with players reporting matchmaking difficulties, prompting developers to suggest restarting the game client. Battlefield Studios plans to increase server capacity in response to high demand. Weapon-balancing concerns have also emerged, particularly regarding shotguns, with developers committed to addressing these issues before the official launch in October.
Given the huge amount of people trying to play Battlefield 6's open beta, the servers are struggling somewhat. Some players have reported matchmaking issues, and the developers say players can restart the game client to help improve things.
Open beta is our biggest validation yet. We want to see at GRAND scale how this holds up. We'll then assess the outcomes and hear the feedback and iterate. As we always do, and as we have been doing, producer David Sirland said.
Players have also reported weapon-balancing issues, with many saying shotguns are too powerful right now. Sirland said Battlefield Studios is looking into these reports with an aim to find out what it might tweak for launch in October.
The open beta is also available on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, along with the EA App for PC, so the Steam numbers reflect just a portion of the beta's total audience.
