The highly anticipated "Battlefield 6" has made a remarkable debut during its Open Beta phase, quickly ascending to the top of Twitch's viewership charts and achieving impressive concurrent player counts on Steam. As the beta entered its early access period on August 7, the game attracted over 600,000 viewers on Twitch, surpassing its closest competitor, "League of Legends," which recorded just over 100,000 viewers at the same time.
On Steam, "Battlefield 6" demonstrated its popularity by rapidly climbing to the fourth most-played game on the platform, with more than 190,000 players logged in simultaneously. This figure excludes players accessing the game via EA Play or consoles, indicating that the total audience could be substantially higher.
The game's success is further highlighted by its peak viewership on Twitch, which reached 844,723, surpassing the highest peaks of several major "Call of Duty" titles. For context, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II" peaked at 751,937 viewers, while "Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War" reached 705,050 viewers. Only "Call of Duty: Warzone" has achieved a higher peak with 1,613,626 viewers.
In addition to its impressive viewership, "Battlefield 6" has engaged players with a series of Twitch Drops, offering rewards such as the Mimic Weapons Package, Landslide Soldier Skin, Shattered Vehicle Skin, and Imperial Soldier Skin. To claim these rewards, players need to watch eligible streams for specified durations and link their EA and Twitch accounts.
The Open Beta, running from August 7 to 10, has been a significant success, reflecting the elevated interest in the game and supporting the anticipation built by earlier trailers and gameplay reveals. With early access underway and broader availability scheduled later, "Battlefield 6" is poised for a successful full release.
