The hype for Battlefield 6 is building fast, and the recent closed beta has only fueled the excitement. Our GurbeGaming team jumped in to test the game, and the verdict is clear: we’re all feeling positive and expect to spend countless hours in it once it launches.
Huge Player Turnout
The beta wasn’t just popular — it was massive. On Steam alone, the game reached 521,000 concurrent players, making it one of the most talked-about multiplayer tests of the year. That’s not even counting console players, meaning the real number was likely much higher.
Next Open Beta
The next chance to play is right around the corner: the open beta runs from August 14 to August 17. This will give everyone, whether you missed the first test or just want more, another taste of the large-scale battles Battlefield is known for.
Release Date and Pricing
Battlefield 6 officially launches on October 10. On PC via Steam, the Standard Edition is priced at €69.99, while the Phantom Edition (with exclusive cosmetic items) costs €99.99. Console players will pay €79.99 for the Standard Edition or €109.99 for the Phantom Edition.
Our First Impressions
From our time in the beta, a few things stood out:
- Impressive scale and visuals — Massive maps, smooth performance, and stunning detail.
- Variety in combat — Both vehicle warfare and infantry battles felt balanced and fun.
- Room for polish — As with any beta, a few small bugs and connection issues popped up, but nothing game-breaking.
Overall, Battlefield 6 feels like it’s on track to deliver the kind of epic, chaotic, and cinematic multiplayer experience the series is famous for.
