Battlefield 6's lead oozes confidence by confirming that the servers 'should be' ready for its relea

Published on December 06, 2025

It's T-minus three days until launch, and with every hour that passes, I get even more excited. But my sheer joy at the prospect of jumping into blissful chaos is also somewhat overshadowed by the rising dread that the servers simply won't be able to cope.

Battlefield games have a rather unfavourable track record of borking their servers on launch as more people than expected pile in. To be fair, so do most multiplayer online games.

The other pitfall that many were nervous about Battlefield 6 falling into is [[link]] releasing in an unoptimised state (like ). Although from what I've seen so far, this won't be the case: The beta played pretty smoothly, except for a slight testing, with virtually no server issues to be seen.

Honestly, even the worst-case scenario, getting met with hour-long queues of hundreds of thousands of people, doesn't even suck too much. Sure, it would be nice to get to enjoy Battlefield 6 straight away, but the queues never last for long, and players will have all the time in the world to enjoy everything on offer in the coming months—and hopefully years.
