💨 Abstract

Battlefield 6's open beta surpassed Call of Duty's player peak on Steam with 521,079 players. Despite criticism from a former Blizzard president, who claimed it would outperform Call of Duty, the article predicts tough competition. Mike Ybarra, who served as president at Blizzard until 2024, said Battlefield 6 would "boot stomp” Call of Duty this year.
