The day we’ve all been waiting for is finally here: Battlefield 6 is officially live. But despite EA saying the servers will be ready for the incoming traffic, players are clogging up the queue so bad it’s reaching numbers as high as my country’s total population.
As of this article, I am sitting in a queue at position 416,000, meaning there’s half a million people ahead of me trying to get into the game. I don’t even want to look behind myself at the line that is just forming, given how this queue size is already almost equal to my home country’s population of some 625,000. Battlefield 6 is by far EA’s biggest release in these last few years, with this summer’s open beta indicating we’d be in for a true storm once the launch day comes.
And the launch day has come, with BF6 now officially live across the world. Though the server queue is massive, performance remains stable and steady, with respectable frames and pings. Finding a match is super easy, whether through official matchmaking or the server browser, and that should remain so for the foreseeable future. The server queue is also moving relatively quickly, so even if you do get stuck way behind, you shouldn’t spend too long within it.
Hopefully, EA will also expand the server network in the coming days as the company adjusts to the infinite sea of players trying to get their hands on what could just be the best Battlefield in a decade.
In the meantime: stay frosty, soldiers, and we’ll see you all at the front of the queue (after we’re done compiling shaders for an extra five minutes, that is).
