Battlefield 6 Open Beta Draws Massive Crowds and Surprising GPU Results
Battlefield 6 has stormed into the spotlight with its recent Open Beta, and it’s been quite the event. For over two decades, the Battlefield franchise has been known for massive, chaotic warfare — sprawling maps, combined-arms combat, and battles that evolve dynamically. This time, developer DICE and publisher EA have brought us into a near-future conflict, blending Battlefield’s strategic scale with a faster, more agile feel. Soldiers can now sprint, slide, roll, and vault with unprecedented smoothness, creating a pace closer to Call of Duty while keeping the tactical depth that Battlefield fans love.
This beta period, which ran across the week and into the weekend, has been nothing short of a phenomenon. At one point, almost 250,000 players were queued up, waiting for their chance to dive in. On Steam alone, the concurrent player count reached nearly 300,000. Those who had signed up for earlier Labs tests were granted access, but that still wasn’t enough to avoid epic wait times — one tester even dropped out of a queue at the 195,000 mark, only to rejoin and find themselves in position 227,240. Disconnection protection wasn’t in place, so a lost internet signal meant starting the wait all over again.

The Frostbite engine has received a serious overhaul for Battlefield 6. While ray tracing support is gone this time, DLSS, FSR, and XeSS are all here to boost performance, alongside frame generation options from NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel. Graphics have been upgraded across the board compared to Battlefield 2042, and the environments feel richer, denser, and more destructible than ever. In TechPowerUp’s performance testing, 17 different GPUs were put through their paces using a consistent high-end setup, featuring AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, DDR5-6200 memory, and a powerful water-cooled rig. The benchmarking was done in actual in-game multiplayer scenarios to reflect real-world performance, though minor variations in conditions were inevitable.
The gameplay itself remains a mix of classic Battlefield features and bold new risks. Massive tank battles, squad-based coordination, and spectacular environmental destruction are still here, but the faster player movement, fluid traversal, and potentially shifting meta have stirred curiosity — and some caution — among fans. Early impressions suggest the foundation for a truly standout Battlefield title is present, though the success of these changes will depend on how the community adapts and how DICE continues to refine the balance.
With its official release set for October 10th, Battlefield 6 is already shaping up to be one of the year’s most talked-about shooters. The Open Beta has delivered excitement, frustration, and a mountain of performance data — all while giving players a taste of the chaos that’s yet to come. For now, it’s safe to say the battlefield is more crowded than ever, and everyone’s eager to see how this war unfolds.
