Battlefield 6 open beta is already Steam's most popular Battlefield game with a peak of 330,000+ concurrent players, doubling the record of the 2042 beta and tripling 2042 itself in just hours
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. If the thousands of people sitting in the menu of Battlefield 6's open beta before it even became playable didn't give it away, the upcoming FPS is looking rather popular. So popular, in fact, that now that the beta's doors have finally opened, it already has the highest concurrent player peak out of any other game in the series on Steam. As spotted by PC Gamer, at the time of writing, Battlefield 6's open beta has a concurrent player peak of 334,549 according to SteamDB. I say "open," but currently, the beta is actually in early access, and although you can watch Battlefield 6 streamers on Twitch to get access to the Battlefield 6 beta yourself (assuming you hadn't met the previous requirements), I still imagine that slight complication could mean the number might surge further when things become open to everyone on August 9. To put it into perspective, the Battlefield 6 beta has already more than doubled the Steam peak for Battlefield 2042's beta – which saw 156,665 concurrent players at the time – and more than tripled the concurrent player peak of 2042's full release, which capped at 107,376. Its current peak also places it at number 38 on SteamDB's overall "most played games" chart, surpassing the likes of Elden Ring: Nightreign, Starfield, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and more. The Battlefield 6 open beta is head and shoulders above every other Battlefield game on Steam, too, although as PC Gamer points out, 2042 is the only modern Battlefield game to release on Steam on its actual launch date. Others, like Battlefield 5 and 4, returned to the storefront in 2020, years after their respective releases. As such, it's slightly unfair to compare them as closely, but that's not to downplay the beta reception we're looking at right now. Who knows how much those numbers are going to grow in the coming days? Battlefield 6 multiplayer is faster than ever, and while I'm having fun being a speedy soldier, it's playing against the shooter's most iconic feature.

Battlefield 6 follows Call of Duty in letting you "pick and choose which components of the game you install" to help suffering hard drives, but fans worry a day-one patch will leave them full regardless
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Good news, folks – Battlefield 6 isn't as storage-hungry as you might have thought, with its already respectable complete file size able to be cut down further to just the bits you're interested in playing. However, fans are worried it might not be so compact forever. As noted by PC Gamer, looking at Battlefield 6's system requirements on Steam, you can see two very different numbers when it comes to the amount of storage needed for the FPS. At minimum, players need 55GB, but it's recommended that you should ideally have 80GB. Clarifying the reason for this in a statement sent to PC Gamer, an EA representative explains that we'll "be able to pick and choose which components of the game you install." Although "there will be a shared base package," users can "separately choose to install the main components" such as multiplayer and single-player, so they're only using up space on the things they want, with the flexibility to swap and change where wanted. Hopefully, that means less of deleting other games off your hard drive in order to clear room. I imagine many might choose to uninstall the single-player campaign once they've completed it. Equally, if you're someone who couldn't care less about diving into the action online (especially as some are starting to worry about the potential impact of skill-based matchmaking), then you don't have to spare the storage space for it. This is an approach that Call of Duty games have also been taking in more recent years, and something that's quite a relief when you consider how massive their file sizes can be. However, even though Battlefield 6's current file size seems pretty manageable in comparison to some of the biggest CoD titles, fans are concerned it might not remain that way forever. Obviously, you can expect updates to make games bigger and bigger over time, but even day-one patches can seriously inflate file sizes sometimes. Back in 2022, some Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 players reported being hit with a day-one patch of around 60GB on Xbox. "This '55 gigs' sounds real nice but will eventually balloon up to 100+ gig over time with updates. Don't be delusional," one predicts. "How big is the day one patch?" another questions. "55GB installation and then 120GB day one patch..." another worries. Before we start planning ahead to Battlefield 6's October 10 launch, we have a whole open beta to look forward to. It'll first be available starting August 7 for those who've unlocked early access, before the doors are opened to everyone else soon after. Battlefield 6 won't have a server browser, but the game's producer believes the current system "answers all these wants."

AOL's dial-up internet still exists, but not for much longer
It may have been decades since you last heard the crunching screeches of connecting with dial-up Internet, but AOL said it will discontinue its dial-up service on September 30, officially marking the end of an era in Internet history. As first spotted by PC Gamer , AOL made the surprising announcement in a post buried in its AOL Help pages. Along with the dial-up service, AOL Dialer software and AOL Shield browser will also be discontinued by the end of September. It may come as a shock to most that AOL still runs its dial-up Internet service, but some thousands of users still rely on this outdated method as an affordable way to access the Internet in more rural areas. However, these user numbers in the "low thousands" are a far cry from AOL's heyday, which reportedly saw tens of millions of subscribers, most likely thanks to the stacks of free trial CDs people would find in their mailboxes. Nowadays, dial-up Internet fails to compete against the likes of much faster broadband options, which include cable, fiber and satellite alternatives. Even though AOL's dial-up service eventually lost relevancy, it stuck around for 34 years before meeting the same fate as other '90s tech icons like Blockbuster, Discmans and AOL Instant Messenger. Now, the only time you'll really hear that iconic America Online serenade is through recreations on social media.

Battlefield 6 is already better than Call Of Duty in terms of one major feature
EA keeps saying all the right things, as fans approve of the latest annoucement for this year's Battlefield 6. While Call Of Duty has always been the dominant military shooter, EA's Battlefield series has come close to challenging it on occasion – even if those days are a while ago now. EA clearly wants this year's Battlefield 6 to renew the rivalry with Call Of Duty, including giving it an autumn launch window, and so far it seems to be working, with many Call Of Duty fans expressing an interest in jumping ship. But Battlefield fans don't necessarily want the series to be exactly the same as Call Of Duty, far from it (especially when it comes to potential crossover skins) and EA has just made clear another important difference. In a statement to PC Gamer, EA has confirmed that while Battlefield 6 sports a hefty file size of 80GB, that's only for the complete experience and you can actually pick and choose which portions of the game to download. For instance, if you only care about the single-player campaign, then you can download that part of the game without the online multiplayer. Or vice versa if you have zero interest in solo play. 'There will be a shared base package, and then you can separately choose to install the main components (i.e. single0player, multiplayer, etc.),' EA explained, with the base package expected to come in at a much smaller 55GB. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. This isn't a new idea and is something Activision's been doing with the Call Of Duty games in recent years, in response to how much storage space they had begun to take up. However, the install sizes for Black Ops 6 are much bigger, at 128GB for the whole thing or 78GB if you already have COD HQ and Warzone installed. So Battlefield 6 is going to be considerably smaller. 'Never thought I'd see the day that EA makes pro-consumer choices. No forced launcher, staying true to IP, and putting in quality-of-life improvements. This is a great start, hopefully they keep it up,' writes one fan on Reddit. Another fan adds that customisable installs 'need to become the norm now if compression is going to go out the window,' highlighting things like language packs and 4K graphics packages that should be optional. 'It's crazy that they are saying all the right things and after that reveal event everyone who played it is backing it up,' says another, referencing the recently revealed multiplayer gameplay, which is so far making a good first impression among the community. Some still hold reservations, though, with one fan suspecting that Battlefield 6's file size will balloon with inevitable updates: '55GB at start and after 2 seasons 100GB.' More Trending Others also have difficulty believing EA's promises. 'They're saying a lot of pro-consumer/pro-Battlefield fan stuff but let's see them DO these things' says one, while another adds, ' Guys, don't believe anything EA says. The launch and following months is what will show the truth.' They're not entirely wrong. While a new game can make a very strong first impression, interest can quickly wane if certain problems aren't addressed. Capcom's Monster Hunter Wilds, for instance, seemed like a future classic when it launched this February, but while it's still the best-selling game of the year overall, sales have sharply declined since. This can partially be attributed to fan frustration with how Monster Hunter Wilds runs on PC and, as a result, not only has the player count dipped, but the game's being outsold by much older Resident Evil and Devil May Cry games.
