At the time of this article's publication, Battlefield 6 had 747,440 concurrent players on Steam. That's enough to make EA's new first-person shooter the second most-played game on Valve's platform, behind only Counter-Strike 2. Battlefield 6 is already the 14th most-played game ever on Steam, with Larian's Baldur's Gate 3 in its sights.

And if you're wondering, the Call of Duty app, which encompasses all Call of Duty games, has a peak concurrent player count of 491,670 on Steam, which means Battlefield 6 is well on its way to doubling the record set by its FPS rival.

Huge W for Dice/EA. I'm really glad to see Battlefield's return to form. For anyone playing it, how is it?

This was amazing to see, and it is amazing to see Battlefield return to such a wide player base, too. I played during the beta and enjoyed it, but have yet to play since the release of the game.

From what I am hearing so far, everyone is happy with the game and does not seem to have any huge issues, which is always great for a new release.
