Analysts highlighted several spikes in Battlefield 6 wishlists:
- On July 24, Electronic Arts unveiled the first full trailer for Battlefield 6, prompting players to massively add the shooter to their wishlists. A week later, the Steam version of the title had 754,000 wishlists.
- On July 31, the multiplayer presentation took place. In just one day, the number of Battlefield 6 wishlists on Steam grew to 1.23 million.
- By the start of early access to the beta test on August 7, Battlefield 6 boasted 2.2 million wishlists on Steam. In the following days, this increased by half a million.

Moreover, many gamers decided not to wait for the release, which will occur in two months, and instead pre-ordered Battlefield 6. As Alinea Analytics reports, 605,000 Steam users have already pre-ordered the shooter. Consequently, Battlefield 6 grossed 35 million dollars in Valve's store.
Tomorrow, August 14, the next phase of the open beta test for Battlefield 6 begins. It seems likely that another surge in wishlists will follow.
