Battlefield 6 had a record-breaking launch, Electronic Arts has announced. The game sold more than 7 million copies to become the “biggest opening ever” for the Battlefield series.
This data lines up with what an analyst said earlier this week, estimating some 7 million copies sold for an almost Call of Duty-like debut.
“It’s closer to Call of Duty-tier numbers than any of EA’s premium-shooter efforts so far. But the question now is whether or not EA can foster this successful launch into a platform that stands the test of time,” Anliena Analytics’ Rhys Elliott said.
