Alinea Analytics analyst Reese Elliott pointed out that the 7 million units sold in the first three days of release is 'comparable to the Call of Duty series.' Considering that it took Battlefield 5 several months to reach 7 million units sold, and Battlefield 2042 itself was a failure, 'the launch of Battlefield 6 is a great achievement for the development team,' game media Polygon points out.

Of the 92,810 reviews for Battlefield 6 on Steam, 75% were favorably rated and recommended, and even if we narrow it down to Japanese reviews only, 68% of the 662 reviews were recommended. At the time of writing, Battlefield 6 is the best-selling game on Steam, with over 345,000 concurrent players.

However, it's not without its flaws, with Polygon pointing out that 'Battlefield 6's campaign loses its identity as a BF series.' Polygon pointed out that 'the campaign doesn't feel like a BF series, and while the multiplayer mode has been well-received by critics and fans, it still has problems. The maps are too small for proper scale combat, and some challenges seem unreasonably difficult to complete.'

In addition, Battlefield 6 is also on sale at Amazon.co.jp, and the price is 8035 yen including tax.
