The majority of Battlefield 6 players picked up the game for its massive multiplayer battles, but a surprising number have taken the time to complete the single-player campaign as well. Despite widespread criticism of the story’s originality, achievement data shows that around 10% of players have finished it — a figure higher than many expected.
Battlefield 6’s Ongoing Success
Battlefield 6 launched in October to strong sales and largely positive reviews. EA’s shooter has maintained an impressive daily player count on Steam, with hundreds of thousands still active each day. The first post-launch season introduced new maps and a battle royale mode, fueling long-term interest and setting the stage for more updates throughout 2026.
Despite some controversy and early concerns over balancing and bugs, Battlefield 6 has solidified its momentum. Its multiplayer remains the game’s biggest draw, but the campaign statistics reveal that a significant portion of the community has gone beyond the competitive action to finish the story mode.
Campaign Completion Rates by Platform
- Xbox: 10.53%
- Steam: 9.4%
- PS5: 9.3%
While those numbers may not sound huge, they’re impressive for a game where single-player isn’t the focus. For comparison, Battlefield 1’s campaign completion rate sits around 6.5% on Steam, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2022) has roughly 5.8% of players finishing its story. Even Black Ops 6 only sees about 1.5% of players completing the campaign on Steam.
These figures highlight that Battlefield 6’s story, despite being labeled “Battlefield-flavored Call of Duty” by some reviewers, managed to engage players enough to push through to the end — at least more so than its competitors.
Why Players Are Finishing the Campaign
One possible reason for the higher completion rate could be the special rewards tied to campaign completion. Players who finish the story unlock unique cosmetics and bonuses for multiplayer, giving them an incentive to experience the campaign.
Another factor might be the integration of the game’s free-to-play battle royale mode, which exists within the same ecosystem. Despite concerns that the BR mode might distort achievement stats, the data suggests most players engaging with Battlefield 6 content already own the full game, keeping completion percentages relevant.
A Promising Sign for EA’s Future Plans
With Battlefield 6’s player base remaining strong and a surprising number of players completing the story, EA seems to have struck a better balance between single-player and multiplayer than many anticipated. As more updates roll out in 2026, it will be interesting to see whether the campaign’s completion rate continues to rise — or if future expansions encourage even more players to give the single-player mode a chance.
