Battlefield 6's new beta already has 9,000 Steam 'players,' days before launch

Battlefield 6 may just be the most important game in the series’ 23-year history, and its first chance to properly woo FPS fans is almost here. Sure, it got a flashy reveal event with a bunch of streamers playing the game. But it’s not the same as you and your mates getting hands-on yourself, and that’s exactly what its beta is about to deliver. While it doesn’t kick off for a few days yet, it’s just been made available to pre-install. Such is the fervor for Battlefield 6, it’s already got an impressive player count on Steam, even without the beta going live.
