In an impressive display of popularity, Battlefield 6 has shattered EA’s previous concurrent player record on Steam, reaching a staggering peak of 747,440 players during its launch weekend. This remarkable achievement not only surpasses the former record held by Apex Legends but also marks Battlefield 6 as the 14th highest peak in Steam’s history.
