Get ready, soldiers! EA has officially revealed the worldwide release schedule for Battlefield 6. This highly anticipated first-person shooter is set to launch on October 10, with pre-loading already active on most platforms, excluding the Epic Games Store.
The excitement continues beyond launch with Battlefield 6’s first significant free update, Season 1, commencing on October 28. This season unfolds in three distinct phases: ‘Rogue Ops’ launches first, introducing the new map Blackwell Fields, fresh weaponry, and an intense 4v4 ‘Strikepoint’ mode. Following this, ‘California Resistance’ arrives on November 18, bringing the SoCal-inspired map Eastwood and an 8v8 ‘Sabotage’ mode. The inaugural season concludes on December 9 with ‘Winter Offensive,’ featuring the ‘Empire State’ seasonal map and a surprise themed event yet to be unveiled.
Good news for all players: there will be no early access for those purchasing more expensive editions. Battlefield 6 will unlock simultaneously for everyone on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. For PC users, Steam players won’t require the EA App to play, though an EA account is still necessary. However, if you bought Battlefield 6 through the Epic Games Store, you’ll need both the EA App and an EA account to dive into the action. Furthermore, EA Play Pro subscribers can enjoy unlimited Day 1 access to the Battlefield 6 Phantom Edition exclusively via the EA App.
While counting down the minutes, players can also look forward to a free-to-download battle royale mode, anticipated to arrive later in October.
