Battlefield 6’s open beta went live today, and it’s putting up big numbers its early-access stage before the beta becomes more widely available this weekend and next.
On Steam alone, the Battlefield 6 open beta reached more than 314,000 peak concurrent players. 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.
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. Battlefield 6’s open beta is using server queues to help mitigate demand, with Battlefield Studios announcing it is working on a “substantial increase in server capacity” to help meet demand.
