Sega has announced that the release of its free-to-play, Football Manager-powered simulation game, **Sega Football Club Champions 2025**, has been delayed from 2025 to early 2026. Along with the delay, the title has been updated to **Sega Football Club Champions 2026**.

According to Sega, the decision to postpone the game comes after valuable feedback from players during the closed beta test held in August. The additional development time will be used to improve the overall quality of the game and to add more features to enhance the player experience.

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.
