Battlefield 6 is one of the biggest launches that the franchise has seen, but according to a major industry analytics firm, this is still unlikely to save the title from being beaten by upcoming competitor Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. The success of Battlefield 6 has been a high point for the long-running franchise, and as Black Ops 7 creeps closer, the two FPS heavy-hitters are ready to face off in a compelling showdown.
Ahead of Battlefield 6's launch, the game boasted a massive player count on Steam during its Open Beta, peaking at a whopping 521,079 participants. In comparison, Black Ops 7's recent Open Beta only drew around 99,000 players on Steam, Of course, it's important to note that Black Ops 7's Open Beta was spread across four different consoles and a variety of PC platforms other than Steam, so although the numbers look like they're in Battlefield 6's favor, it's difficult to get a fully accurate comparison. Battlefield 6 has definitely drawn a lot of positive reception, though, but that may not be enough to rise above Black Ops 7's impending sales.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is set...
