Overview

• Ampere Analysis, via The Game Business, estimates 1.7 million Steam pre-orders for Battlefield 6 and projects roughly 5 million units sold in the first week, characterizing both figures as estimates.
• Newzoo and Ampere report that 22–25 million people tried the beta with a 10.4 million peak concurrent player count across platforms.
• Ampere’s data suggests a portion of players who sampled the beta did not return to Call of Duty in the following month (29% on Xbox, 24% on PlayStation, 48% on Steam), though reporters flag methodological caveats.
• In the UK, a GAME and TopCashback offer for new TopCashback members can cut the effective preorder price to £39.16 from £64.99 for the standard edition and to £64.19 from £94.99 for the Phantom Edition, contingent on cashback tracking and payout.
• The game launches October 10 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with a £69.99 digital price and some physical copies around £59.99; pre-orders include the Tombstone pack, and the Phantom Edition adds skins, starter weapon packs, the season 1 battle pass, and 25 tier skips.
