Open beta peaks at 521,079 concurrent players on Steam
The open beta peaked at 521,079 concurrent players on Steam on August 9, 2025 , surpassing every Call of Duty title ever and landing at number 18 on Steam's all-time concurrent player chart. The milestone made it the most-played beta in franchise history and briefly placed it among the top four games on Steam behind Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, and PUBG.
Context for the numbers:
Call of Duty record beaten : CoD's previous Steam peak was 491,670 — cleared by roughly 30,000 players
Franchise record : no prior Battlefield title had come close to this concurrent count on Steam
Platform scope : Steam-only figures; EA app and console players are not included, so real concurrency was higher
Steam ranking : three other shooters had ever reached this chart — Counter-Strike, PUBG, and Apex Legends
The beta ran in late August 2025 ahead of the October 10 full release.
