Battlefield 6 Complete Guide
The wait is almost over for the next installment in the legendary first-person shooter franchise. Battlefield 6 is officially launching on October 10, promising a return to the large-scale, modern warfare that fans love. As the release date approaches, players are eager for answers to their biggest questions.
We’ve compiled a complete guide to everything you need to know, from how much it costs to what platforms you can play it on.
For most players, the Standard Edition of Battlefield 6 will be the go-to choice, priced at $69.99. This edition includes the full base game with its campaign and multiplayer components. For those seeking more content right out of the gate, the Phantom Edition is available for $99.99.
The Phantom Edition is packed with extras for the dedicated soldier. It grants access to the first Battlefield Battle Pass complete with tier skips, along with the Phantom Squad pack featuring four exclusive soldier skins, unique weapon packages, a vehicle skin, and a collection of cosmetic items like stickers and charms to customize your gear.
A common question among Xbox players is whether they can jump in via a subscription. As of now, Battlefield 6 will not be available on Xbox Game Pass at launch. However, there is a potential workaround for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. Since the subscription includes EA Play, players may get access to a 10-hour trial of the game, though this has not been officially confirmed by EA.
For those who want full, unlimited access on day one, the EA Play Pro subscription at $16.99 per month includes the Phantom Edition as part of its membership.
Battlefield 6 will be available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. The game is focused on the latest console generation and PC, with no current plans for a Nintendo Switch 2 version.
Beyond the initial purchase, the game is built for long-term engagement. It will feature a robust post-launch seasonal model, delivering new maps, weapons, and content for free. Additionally, a free-to-play Battle Royale mode is confirmed to be in development and is expected to arrive as part of the post-launch content, with rumors pointing to an October 28 release.
For players craving a narrative experience, the game does include a single-player campaign. While strictly solo with no co-op, it offers around nine missions, providing an estimated 4-5 hours of focused story gameplay before you dive into the chaotic multiplayer battles.
