Battlefield 6 in New “Road to Battlefield 6” Event
With less than a month until the anticipated release of Battlefield 6, EA and DICE have launched a clever crossover event designed to unite the community and reward loyal fans. The “Road to Battlefield VI” event, hosted within Battlefield 2042, allows players to earn a wealth of free cosmetic rewards that will carry over to the new game upon its release.
The event features a free 60-tier battle pass filled with nostalgic items inspired by every major Battlefield title. Players can earn:
- Battlefield 1-era items like the “Storm of Steel” player card background
- Battlefield V weapon packages and icons
- Bad Company 2 vehicle skins and player card backgrounds
- Battlefield 3 and 4 cosmetic sets, including soldier skins and dog tags
- Exclusive Battlefield 2042 cosmetics for reaching the final tier
The strategy has proven incredibly effective, reportedly driving a 500% increase in Battlefield 2042‘s player base as returning and new players log in to grind for these exclusive items. However, the event has sparked some controversy with the recent addition of paid “Tier Skips.” While the battle pass itself is free, players can now spend real money to advance through tiers faster—a move that some feel undermines the spirit of a free reward program.

The event serves as both a generous thank-you to long-time fans and a strategic move to build hype for Battlefield VI. It allows players to build a collection of legacy cosmetics before the new game even launches, creating a tangible link between the franchise’s past and its future.
