Battlefield 6 launched on top of the world back in October 2025, peaking on Steam at more than 747,000 players, but the months since then have been a little unkind to the game. Since its release, player numbers have dropped, and it seems the developers are well aware that the delayed second season needs to hit harder than the first to keep players engaged.
GameRant reported that CharlieIntel, in a since deleted post on Twitter, shared a quote from an unnamed developer on Battlefield 6 saying, “Now the trailer has dropped, the roadmap has dropped, we’re all sitting in our chairs biting our nails a little bit.” The sentiment suggests that the team is well aware of the pressure to recapture even a fraction of the the audience that it landed right out of the gate.
Fans of Battlefield 6 quickly blew through all of its maps, modes, and battle pass at launch before subsequently voicing their frustrations with the game’s technical problems and content. In particular, players have seemed constantly vexed at the game’s lack of map variety, both in terms of sheer numbers and structural differences–many have voiced a desire for bigger maps.
