Battlefield 6 Pre-Order Numbers on Steam Signal Potential Challenge to Call of Duty Dominance
Strong pre-order figures for the upcoming Battlefield 6 on Steam suggest the title could pose a significant challenge to the long-held market superiority of Call of Duty, especially Black Ops 7. While Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare previously held a lead in US turnover, the gap between competing shooter franchises has frequently enough been substantial.
The initial Steam pre-order data for Battlefield 6 represents onyl a portion of the overall picture,as both Battlefield and Call of Duty maintain a strong presence on consoles,where comparative data is less accessible. Sales through choice PC launchers like EA’s app, Epic Games, and COD HQ further complicate a complete assessment of player base size.
Black Ops 7 also benefits from inclusion in Xbox Game Pass, though recent price increases to the subscription service-with access to day-one releases now requiring the more expensive Ultimate tier-may influence player counts, potentially driving some subscribers to purchase the game outright following the price hike.
