Battlefield 6 Dominates Launch Sales in Europe

Battlefield 6 has achieved a strong opening week in Europe, surpassing the launch sales of both Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and EA Sports FC 26 (based on GSD data, which combines physical and digital sales).

The launch was reportedly four times larger than that of Battlefield 5, according to estimates from TGB.

Though, there are critically important factors to consider. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was available on Xbox Game Pass, likely resulting in a significantly higher player base than reflected in the premium sales data. Similarly, EA Sports FC 26 experienced a staggered release, with the Ultimate Edition launching before the standard Edition, impacting its initial sales figures.

Despite these caveats, EA has announced that Battlefield 6 has sold seven million units globally. This notable performance places EA Sports FC 26 at No. 2 in the sales charts following Battlefield’s triumphant launch.
