With the launch of open beta, Battlefield 6 developers are committed to “substantial” server capacity increase and equally huge queues

Battlefield 6 Developer DICE says it is “significant” improvements to the server capacity of Battlefield 6 Open Beta after encountering early access releases with huge Steam concurrency and equally huge queues.

At the time of this article’s release, Battlefield 6 Open Beta has only more than 300,000 concurrent players on Steam, making it the third game on the Valve platform, second only to Counter-Trike 2 and Dota 2. We don't have concurrent player characters from Sony or Microsoft.

However, not all of these players are actually playing. As the server reaches maximum capacity, those with early access queues in large numbers (we have seen 250,000 screenshots in the screenshot). In response, Dices make a statement To say it is working to improve the problem:

“The team is now working to significantly increase server capacity, which will reduce your time in the queue,” DICE said. “Thanks for your continued patience as we try to get many of you into the game as soon as possible.

“We look forward to seeing you experience Battlefield 6, and we thank you for your patience!”

What follows is A message Among them, the dice explains why queues are used first.

“We will use the queue to protect the player's experience, but hopefully that impact is small,” Dice insisted.

“You might encounter this at peak moments, like the start of a server. The team is constantly working to reduce any queues that occur.”

Saint sh*t🤣
More than 270.000 players are waiting in the server queue!

The advice here is that, with early access beginnings, open beta is now reaching its peak, but the queue will relax. Given that the open beta has survived in early access before the U.S. wakes up, it seems that the player count will grow over the weekend's release time over the next few hours.
