Electronic Arts has officially revealed Battlefield 6, confirming the release date, platforms, pricing, and a massive return to form. The game launches worldwide on 10 October 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox.

There’s no early access, everyone jumps in at the same time.

Pre-orders are live now, and two open beta weekends are set for next month.

Battlefield 6 pricing across all platforms

Pricing differs slightly between PC and console, with higher costs for console players in the UK and Europe. Here’s the full breakdown:

Open beta dates:

• 9–10 August (Saturday–Sunday)
• 14–17 August (Thursday–Sunday)

The campaign kicks off with global collapse

The year is 2027. A political assassination sets off a chain reaction that fractures NATO. As several European nations pull out, the US and its remaining allies are left to face off against PAX ARMATA, a powerful private military force aiming for global control.

The single-player campaign is developed by Motive and centres on Dagger 1-3, a squad of elite Marine Raiders tasked with stopping a total global breakdown. Expect cinematic missions, large-scale combat, and a narrative packed with high-stakes action.

Battlefield’s combat has been rebuilt from the ground up

Battlefield 6 introduces a new “kinesthetic” combat system designed to make movement and gunplay more fluid, responsive, and tactical. New mechanics give players more control in every fight:

• Drag and Revive – Pull a downed teammate to safety while reviving
• Peek and Lean – Look around corners without exposing your body
• Combat Rolls – Reduce fall damage and dodge incoming fire
• Mounting Weapons – Anchor weapons to cover for improved accuracy
• Hitch Ride – Let more players board vehicles—even outside seats

Weapons now feature consistent recoil patterns and clearer engagement ranges, making every shot feel deliberate and earned.

The class system is back, with more depth than ever

After the misfire of Battlefield 2042’s specialists, the four core classes make a proper return: Assault, Engineer, Recon, and Support. Each class includes a unique gadget, passive bonuses, and two training specialisations.

• Assault: Uses assault rifles. The Adrenaline Injector clears stun effects, boosts sprint speed, reduces explosive damage, and highlights nearby enemies. Training paths: Grenadier or Frontliner.
• Engineer: Focused on vehicles. Carries SMGs and a Repair Tool that fixes allied equipment or damages enemy assets. Training options: Anti-Armor or Combat Engineer.
• Recon: Long-range class with sniper rifles. Auto-spots enemies through optics and can call UAVs. Specialise as a Sniper or Pathfinder.
• Support: Uses LMGs and supplies teammates. Carries a Supply Bag for health and ammo, and revives faster. Choose Combat Medic or Fire Support.

Each class plays a specific role and brings meaningful tools to every match.

Tactical destruction is back and smarter than ever in Battlefield 6

Destruction has been overhauled. Players can destroy walls, structures, and cover with everything from explosives to sledgehammers. Surfaces respond realistically depending on the material and the force applied expect buildings to collapse differently based on how and where you attack them.

Launch maps include nine battlefields and a fan-favourite remake

Battlefield 6 will ship with nine maps on day one, including a full remake of Battlefield 3’s Operation Firestorm:

• Siege of Cairo
• Empire State
• Iberian Offensive
• Liberation Peak
• Saints Quarter
• Manhattan Bridge
• New Sobek City
• Kundara Valley
• Operation Firestorm (remake)

Multiplayer will feature classic modes like Conquest, Rush, Breakthrough, Team Deathmatch, Squad Deathmatch, Domination, and King of the Hill.

There’s also a brand-new mode called Escalation, where teams fight to control key objectives in high-intensity zones.

Portal mode returns with even more power

The fan-favourite Portal mode is back, this time featuring a robust spatial editor powered by Godot. It offers deeper customisation, improved tools, and a dedicated server browser.

Experiences created in Verified Mode will now support full XP progression, giving players more reasons to create and join community content.

EA confirms full post-launch support

Battlefield 6 is being built as a long-term platform. EA has promised regular updates with new maps, modes, weapons, and features. The plan is to keep the game growing well after launch, with a strong focus on community-driven feedback and content.

Battlefield 6 looks like the reset the franchise desperately needed

A proper class system. Destruction that actually matters. Campaign and multiplayer firing on all cylinders.

Battlefield 6 isn’t just another sequel, it’s a full-scale rebuild aimed at everything fans have been asking for. Whether you’re jumping into the beta next month or holding out for the launch on 10 October, this is the most promising Battlefield in years.
