Battlefield 1’s open beta attracted 13.2 million players

Y’all really wanted to get a whiff of that World War I action.

Electronic Arts revealed today that the open beta multiplayer test for developer DICE’s historical military shooter Battlefield 1 had 13.2 million total players across PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It was the biggest beta ever for an EA game, and those numbers bode well for the game’s potential success following its October 21 debut. Gaming is a $99.6 billion industry worldwide, and military shooter games make up a significant portion of the console sector of that market.
