Overview

• Electronic Arts confirmed the shooter sold over seven million copies in its first three days, marking the biggest opening in Battlefield history across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
• Launch engagement was heavy with more than 172 million matches played and over 15 million hours watched, plus a franchise-high concurrent player peak during launch that topped 700,000 on Steam.
• Industry estimates from Alinea Analytics put early gross revenue at roughly $350 million and indicate a majority of players and sales on Steam at about 55%, with PlayStation and Xbox making up the remainder.
• Season 1 starts October 28 with the Blackwell Fields map and a new 4v4 mode called Rogue Ops, with additional phases scheduled later this year; a battle royale variant is reported to be in testing through Battlefield Labs but is not yet confirmed.
• Developers have begun post-launch tuning and fixes, including addressing movement and weapon-bloom issues, while early reviews broadly praise multiplayer and critique the single-player campaign.
