At its big multiplayer reveal event today, EA announced that Battlefield 6 will be out on October 10, with a couple of open beta periods happening very soon.
It'll be interesting to see if EA's large-scale FPS series can once again compete with the big dogs after its past stumbles—by releasing in October, it'll be going head-to-head with Call of Duty this year. Morgan .
Battlefield 6 beta dates and early access
Battlefield 6's open beta will have two weekends—August [[link]] 9-10 and August 14-17. Battlefield Labs members will get to test the open beta early, starting August 7. These dates are a little staggered, so I'll go ahead and summarise them again in bullet point form:
- August 7-8: Early access for Battlefield Labs members
- August 9-10: Open beta weekend #1
- August 14-17: Open beta weekend #2
Battlefield 6 launch date and pricing
Battlefield 6 launches October 10, so cross off your Halloween plans—it's time to engage in the spookiest pastime of all, operating in a post-NATO power vacuum filled by a mysterious corporate paramilitary that isn't held [[link]] to any rules, regulations, or laws. I tried to dress up like this last year, but I was told [[link]] I was 'bumming everyone out'.
As for pricing, , Battlefield 6 will cost around $70/£60 for the standard edition and $100/£90 for the "Phantom Edition", on PC, at least. If you're playing on consoles, the GBP prices and USD prices are exactly the same for conversion rate sorceries unbeknownst to me. PC gamers stay winning.
Here's the exact prices again for each platform:
- PC: $69.99/£59.99 (standard edition), $99.99/£89.99 (phantom edition).
- PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S: $69.99/£69.99 (standard edition), $99.99/£99.99 (phantom edition).
