The Battlefield series has been plagued over the years with significant server issues at launch, but Battlefield 6 lead producer David Sirland doesn’t sound too worried about the situation for the new game.
He said on social media that the servers “should be” ready for launch. He added that the popular Battlefield 6 open beta “helped gauge interest” in the game overall.
The Battlefield 6 open beta reportedly reached more than 20 million players and more than 500,000 peak concurrent players on Steam. The beta was so popular that Battlefield Studios implemented server queues to help, but it remains to be seen if there will be server queues for the full release.
2021’s Battlefield 2042 had a rough launch, as did earlier games in the military FPS series, so fans of the series are understandably wary of how the Battlefield 6 launch will go.
Battlefield 6 is coming to market with an enormous amount of pre-release hype, fueled in part by the positive response to the open beta in August. The game’s Season 1 begins on October 28, which is also the date that the game’s battle royale mode is rumored to launch.
