Story Highlight<\/p>\n

Black Ops 7 beta player count has managed to top at just 100K players on Steam.
\nThis is significantly less than Battlefield 6, which had over 500K beta players.
\nThis is worrying for Activision, and they should work to improve the franchise.<\/p>\n

After years of domination, it seems that Call of Duty won\u2019t be the biggest multiplayer FPS release this year; instead, the spot will be occupied by Battlefield 6. Following disappointing day 1 numbers, the Black Ops 7 beta continues to struggle<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Steam, the Black Ops 7 beta could only record a maximum player count of around 100K players, which is a substantially low number compared to the Battlefield 6 beta, which topped at over 500K concurrent players.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why it matters:\u00a0Fans are frustrated with the franchise as it doesn\u2019t do anything new anymore. Every year\u2019s release is just incremental changes that don\u2019t warrant spending so much money.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"Black Ops 7 beta managed to peak at just around 100k players<\/p>\n

According to SteamDB<\/a>, Black Ops 7 beta managed to hit 99,514 players, while the Battlefield 6 beta had 5x the player base. This shows how badly Call of Duty has fallen and how Battlefield has risen from the ashes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With both titles nearing release, Activision would be worried because of the numbers. Fans are now tired of getting the same thing every year, and the developers are playing it safe; therefore, most aren\u2019t returning to the franchise.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In its place, many former Call of Duty players have now switched over<\/a> to Battlefield 6. It is also among the most wishlisted games on Steam and is expected to have a huge opening<\/a> with its full launch on October 10.<\/p>\n
