Battlefield 6 is targeting an October launch with an $80 price point.
According to trusted leaker Dealabs' Billbil-kun, rumors regarding an October 10, 2025 release date are accurate. The game will arrive on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S in both a Standard Edition ($79.99) and a Premium Phantom Edition ($109.99). Notably, the PC version is expected to be priced $10 lower than its console counterparts.
Pre-orders are anticipated to open on July 31, with reports indicating there will be no early access regardless of edition purchased—a departure from current industry norms. Standard Edition owners can upgrade to the Phantom Edition at any point for an additional $29.99.
An Open Beta is also confirmed by the Battlefield team itself. On social media, the official account asked players whether they preferred open or locked weapons, then proposed: "why not both?"
"Starting at Open Beta, players can choose official playlists with Signature Weapons locked to class, or not. More to come."
EA is preparing to fully unveil its next title in just a few hours. Officially titled Battlefield 6, the first trailer will drop today, July 24, at 8am PT.
Prior to this major reveal, a short campaign teaser was released online yesterday, highlighting a significant geopolitical conflict. Set in the near future, the campaign follows NATO under attack: its base in Georgia is struck, Gibraltar is invaded, and the Secretary General is assassinated within Brussels headquarters by a group called Pax Armata.
The wait for Battlefield 6 has been lengthy. It was initially hinted at way, way back in 2021, primarily when EA confirmed development on new entries following Battlefield 2042. Since then, we've viewed early concept art and learned the game is set in a modern era. Most subsequent details have emerged from leaky NDAs and closed Beta Lab testing by enthusiastic fans.
The recent playtest proved highly leaky, with developer DICE noting it has "loads of feedback from the very active testers selected." Unlike Battlefield 2042's lukewarm reception, fans appear pretty pleased with what they've seen so far. For a while, EA wasn't even trying to take them down. Thus far, evidence of a new drag mechanic and the ability to cling to vehicles has surfaced, alongside improved movement, 3D environments, enhanced destruction,quality of life improvements, and glimpses of the start of a battle royale match.
