The Battlefield 6 open beta has launched strong, reaching over 314,000 concurrent players on Steam as a peak, not counting users on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and the EA app.
The high traffic has caused some matchmaking issues, and DICE has implemented server queues to manage demand while substantially increasing server capacity. Restarting the game client is proving to be the fastest solution for those left in a waiting state.
As for feedback, players point out that shotguns are excessively powerful, and the studio is already investigating weapon balance adjustments ahead of the October launch.
If you haven't tried the beta yet, it's still possible to get access codes through Twitch drops or by registering on Battlefield Labs until July 31, and EA Play Pro subscribers have immediate access.
