The number of BF6 players continues to decline.
According to the latest information, the average number of active players on the Steam (PC) platform has fallen again, to approximately 1/6 of the original maximum number of players.
I can more or less confirm this decline. I see a similar trend among my community of teammates on the Steam + EA app (PC) platform. Two months ago, my teammates were still playing BF6 every day. Now, some of them have returned to playing BFV daily. (BF2042 has fallen into oblivion.) However, about half of my teammates play the BF series anymore. They now play BF6 about once every 1-2 weeks.
According to feedback from teammates, the cause is unfulfilled expectations. Specifically, that the developers will adapt the game to the style they were used to in BF1, BFV, BF4, and BF3. This mainly concerns TTD, which DICE promised to revise but has still not changed the situation. None of the teammates hope that the situation will change. Players are simply tired of the stressful short TTD. That's why most of them don't play the game or play previous parts of the game instead.
DICE's stance on the possibility of turning off cross-play for PC players, which it stubbornly refuses to do, has also contributed significantly to the departure of players. Here again, there is frustration from the feeling of excessive advantage for players with controllers.
Finally, there are also some maps and the game content itself, which is minimal. Some of the current game maps are still a pain for infantry. People want to relax while playing, not stress out. Again, this could be fixed by adjusting the TTD, but no one is hoping for that anymore.
