Despite being out in Open Beta for only four days, the game has left a mark on its playerbase. Many players claim that it feels more like home than the previous title, Battlefield 2042, ever did. This is further signified by the fact that BF6 broke the record for the highest concurrent player count for a game's beta. With over 517,000+ players, BF6 Open Beta Weekend 1 even surpassed the beta player records of games like Call of Duty and Monster Hunter Wilds.
