Battlefield 6 Officially Sells 7+ Million Copies In 3 Days, Setting New Series Record – WGB

Simply the opposite day, I reported that an analytics agency reckoned Battlefield 6 had offered 6.5 million copies. Nicely, they had been fairly rattling shut as EA and Battlefield Studios has introduced a complete of seven million copies offered in simply 3 days.

That’s greater than sufficient to set a brand new file for the franchise, each by way of gross sales and concurrent gamers. That’s not dangerous for a franchise that has been in a decline. Are….are we again, guys?

“Firstly we need to thank our gamers,” mentioned Byron Beede, Common Supervisor of Battlefield, whereas casually strapping C4 to a quadbike. “Battlefield 6 was constructed with our followers. From the preliminary idea by means of to the implementation of Battlefield Labs and into the record-shattering Open Beta now we have been obsessive about participant suggestions. Collectively, with our gamers we’ve had a singular aim: to craft one of the best Battlefieldever. And that is just the start – our first season of latest content material is simply 12 days away.”

It’s arduous to say precisely the place Battlefield 6 will wind up on the checklist of best-selling video games of the yr, however with 7 million copies and counting already bagged, it can presumably be near the highest.

Season 1 will kick-off in just a few weeks as nicely, which might probably enhance gross sales even additional. Will that sufficient to compete with this years Name of Obligation? In all probability not. No official gross sales numbers had been launched for Name of Obligation: Black Ops 6 from final yr, nevertheless it did apparently break information for the franchise, and contemplating what number of thousands and thousands a typical CoD recreation sells, it simply be a reasonably large quantity.

Maybe the extra necessary query is whether or not Battlefield 6 can meet EA’s loopy requirements, if the reviews are true. Ars technica reported earlier this year that an anonymous source within EA told them the game’s budget had already gone past $400 million in 2023, and EA was gunning for 100 million gamers.
