EA has confirmed the global release times for Battlefield 6. EA's first-person shooter has an October 10 release date, with pre-loads available now across all platforms except the Epic Games Store.
Season 1, Battlefield 6's first major free update, kicks off on October 28 and releases in three phases: Rogue Ops, which brings new map Blackwell Fields, new weapons, and a new 4v4 mode called Strikepoint; California Resistance, which introduces new SoCal map Eastwood and a 8v8 mode called Sabotage — that's coming on November 18; and the final phase of the first season, Winter Offensive, which rolls out on December 9. That includes "seasonal map" Empire State and an unannounced themed event.
There is no early access for players buying the more expensive editions, so Battlefield 6 unlocks for all at the same time across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X and S. Steam players will not need to use EA App to play Battlefield 6 but will need an EA account. Those who purchased Battlefield 6 via the Epic Games Store will need EA App and an EA account to play. EA Play Pro members get unlimited access to Battlefield 6 Phantom Edition on Day 1 through the EA App only.
