Battlefield 6 has the potential to make “the best battlefield never done”, with more than 600,000 pre -order on Steam alone, and 1 m + predicts, according to the analyst

This is only the second week of its open beta version, but Battlefield 6 already seems that it will be the game to take more than 2025 with the strength of its players of players on steam. The second week of the beta version has already exceeded 400,000 simultaneous players on Steam, and now the Rhys Elliot analyst of Alinea Analytics predicts that the game will reach 1 million pre -orders on Steam, after having already reached more than 600,000.

On X (formerly Twitter), Elliot shared a few key data points for follow-up by Alinea Analytics by Battlefield 6, as the way the company claims that the game has already exceeded pre-order of 605k, and that EA represents 35 million dollars in pre-sales income.

In a recent interview with Eurogamer, Elliot has developed on his predictions for Battlefield 6, saying that he thought it will pass “One million presale“And that the continuous success of the game will depend on the way EA can take the momentum that the beta version is starting, and if it can stand out from other major shooters that have come out near it, like Borderlands 4.

“”While we are heading for the fall period, there will be much more,,“” Said Elliot.

That said, Elliot is more realistic than EA leaders and estimates that the “100 million players” are “completely unreal“Nor does he agree with the former president of Blizzard, Mike Ybarra, and does not think that the return of EA with the series can”to start up“Call of duty.

“”I think it is important not to confuse success before the launch of the battlefield – even if it will be a great success – with a “cod killer”. Yes, Battlefield 6 makes all the right movements with these mass cards, a return to the basic classes, destruction. He also borrows a lot from COD. Call of Duty is a little creative Lul and an identity crisis, with Nikki Minaj shooting Beavis and Butthead while Snoop Dogg Twerk in the background. It’s weird! But it is always a cultural mastodon, it has a massive occasional audience that buys it on the automatic pilot each year. They complain, but they always buy it, and these habits are deep.“”

“”Battlefield 6 undoubtedly wins the FPS hardcore crowd, but COD has this market momentum, annual launches, Warzone is there as a large swimming pool for crossed pollination marketing and a funnel in black operations. COD has the treadmill of seasonal content it has been working for years and years, with streamer partnerships. The question of whether the battlefield can follow this is not clear. “”
