EA has taken to calling Battlefield 6 the best-selling shooter of 2025 on its website, putting it above other heavy hitters like Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and ARC Raiders. Battlefield 6 is the follow-up to Battlefield 2042, a game that wasn’t received with the same positivity and currently has “Mixed” reviews on Steam. On the other hand, Battlefield 6 sits at 71% Mostly Positive, despite a recent influx of negative reviews.
Currently, the Battlefield 6 section of EA’s website features a banner that says, “Thank you for making Battlefield 6 the best-selling shooter game of the year,” indicating that it’s been outselling its stiff competition.
At the time of writing, Battlefield 6 has reportedly sold over 10 million copies across all platforms. This would track with an early report emerging from The Games Business, which sees DICE’s new shooter having a much stronger UK launch than Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, its biggest competitor.
The Games Business also claims that Black Ops 7 has sold more than 60% fewer copies than Black Ops 6.
t’s important to note Xbox Game Pass when comparing Black Ops 7 to Battlefield 6: Black Ops 7 was made available on Game Pass day-and-date, giving “free” access to subscribers on PC and Xbox Series consoles.
Naturally, this would translate to lower retail sales figures compared to Battlefield 6, which isn’t available on any subscription platform other than EA Play Pro, which is $17 per month and not nearly as widely adopted as Game Pass or PS Plus.
