The Battlefield 6 Open Beta is currently showing off an insanely strong start. On Steam, it has already reached 473,000 concurrent players, putting it just behind Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2.0’s peak of 491,000. With the beta running through the weekend, it could take the top spot!
