EA shooter Battlefield 6 has already sold over 6.5 million copies.
That's according to data from Alinea Analytics, which claims that the title has reached this milestone across its first few days on sale. That would be over $350 million in gross revenue, too, which makes it one of the most successful games of this generation.
56.7 per cent of Battlefield 6 sales - or around 3.5 million copies – have been on Steam. That translates to more than $220 million in revenue. PlayStation 5 was behind 23.7 per cent of sales, while Microsoft's Xbox Series consoles took the remaining 19.6 per cent.
"Steam was always going to be the main driver of Battlefield’s success," Alinea's Rhys Elliott wrote.
"As we covered last week, Steam pre-orders alone passed 1.8M units, with over 3.5M wishlists ahead of launch. But the engagement curve post-release is just as impressive:
"Steam daily active users (DAUs) have remained between 2.3 million and 2.5 million every single day since launch. Meanwhile, PlayStation DAUs have hovered around a million consistently. While many new players are coming in each day, BF6 has an extraordinarily flat DAU curve for a shooter (even a premium one). There was also barely any user drop-off on Monday, another rarity."
