Battlefield 6 has captured a lot of attention even before its release, showing strong signs of regaining the franchise’s momentum. After the reveal trailer went live last week, fans rushed to add the game to their wishlists, especially on Steam.
Alinea Analytics reported that 500,000 people added Battlefield 6 to their Steam wishlists during the weekend following the trailer’s release. That’s quite a statement, especially considering the mixed reception of the previous title, Battlefield 2042.
Battlefield 2042, which launched nearly four years ago, left many players disappointed, casting a shadow over one of the most respected first-person shooter series out there. Although it managed to recover somewhat, it never fully restored the confidence of fans.
Many players have been waiting for a solid Battlefield experience again. The numbers suggest Battlefield 6 might be that comeback. The hype is real, and the reveal trailer’s views have soared past 7.6 million on the official YouTube channel alone. Counting reuploads and other platforms, it’s probably tens of millions by now. Wow, that’s a lot of eyes on it.
Later this week, a full multiplayer reveal event is scheduled, with content creators streaming live from Los Angeles. It’ll be interesting to see how the gameplay presentation affects the discussion around the game.
