Battlefield 6 looks to have crossed 7 million units sold in a week

Just last week, Battlefield 6 kicked off a whole new generation of large-scale military FPS games, sparking a massive wave of excitement among fans. In fact, in just one week, the game has reportedly crossed 7 million units sold and grossed over $350 million, marking a significant short-term success for EA and Battlefield Studios.

The sales data comes from GamesIndustry.biz and its analytics partner, Alinea Analytics. According to their figures, Battlefield 6 reached 7 million copies sold across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. It has performed better than every premium game launched this year, only falling short of EA Sports FC 26 in sales performance within a similar time frame.

This monumental first week for Battlefield 6 highlights the strong anticipation for the franchise’s top-tier action and combat experience. Popular modes like Conquest and Breakthrough have been enhanced, and the maps offer engaging opportunities for strategic gameplay.

Player engagement has also been impressive. Battlefield 6 hit a concurrent player peak of over 747,000 on Steam, according to SteamDB. While the numbers have since stabilized, the game still maintains a strong player base, consistently ranging between 300,000 and 500,000 concurrent players.

With these promising figures and positive reception, Battlefield 6 is poised to continue its successful run in the competitive FPS market.

Prashant Kishor rules out contesting Bihar polls

**Prashant Kishor Rules Out Contesting Bihar Polls**

*By Chanshimla Varah | October 15, 2025, 09:42 AM*

Poll strategist-turned-politician Prashant Kishor has announced that he will not be contesting the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections. Instead, Kishor will focus on organizational work for his party, Jan Suraaj, which is making its electoral debut in this election.

“It was a decision we took in the larger interest of the party. If I were to contest, it would have distracted me from the necessary organizational work,” Kishor told PTI.

Last night, Jan Suraaj announced Chanchal Singh as its candidate for the Raghopur Assembly seat, confirming Kishor’s decision not to run in the polls. Earlier, Kishor had indicated that if he were to contest, it would be from either Kargahar, his native constituency, or Raghopur, a stronghold of the RJD.

Setting an ambitious target, Kishor has predicted that his party will win at least 150 seats in the Bihar Assembly. “Anything less than 150 seats would be a defeat,” he stated confidently.

**Criticism of Opponents**

Kishor was critical of the ruling coalition and opposition alike. He predicted a certain defeat for the ruling NDA in Bihar and claimed that the Nitish Kumar-led JD(U) would struggle to secure even 25 seats. “The NDA is definitely on its way out,” he remarked.

Taking a dig at JD(U), Kishor recalled Chirag Paswan’s revolt in the last assembly polls, which contributed to Kumar’s party dropping to 43 seats. “You do not need to be a psephologist to fathom what’s in store for the JD(U),” he added.

Kishor also pointed out ongoing infighting within the INDIA bloc. “There is a never-ending tiff between RJD and the Congress. And nobody knows if former state minister Mukesh Sahani’s Vikassheel Insaan Party is still by their side,” he claimed.

**Election Schedule**

The Bihar Assembly elections will be held in two phases on November 6 and November 11, with the results scheduled to be announced on November 14.

*Stay tuned for comprehensive coverage of the Bihar elections.*
