"The Battlefield 6 beta already broke series records on Steam, having been incredibly successful and very well-received. That August energy carried over to launch, with the full version now officially surpassing even that. On Friday, just as EA started letting players in (assuming you didn't have too long of a queue) the game quickly shot up Steam's most played charts. According to SteamDB, its peak concurrent player count was a whopping 747,440, which is a lot more than the beta's 521,079 peak concurrent."
"Although the launch was incredibly smooth by Battlefield standards - there've been no major apologies by EA leadership, for instance, it did have some problems. On Steam, some players ran into a 'Game Not Released' error message when attempting to download the game. EA offered a workaround that involved removing certain packages from the download, which seems to have taken care of the issue."
Battlefield 6 launched on Friday across PC and current-gen platforms, achieving a franchise-record peak concurrent player count on Steam of 747,440. The full release surpassed the beta's 521,079 peak and propelled the game into Steam's most-played charts and the top five currently, with over 227,000 players in-game. Strong Steam sales placed the title at number one, following ten weeks in the top 100. Some players encountered a 'Game Not Released' download error on Steam, resolved by removing certain packages. An EA app outage prevented some pre-order players from accessing the game but has since been fixed.
