Battlefield 6 Sets Simultaneous Oct. 10 Launch With Global Unlock Times Confirmed

EA details a substantial day-one patch alongside a Season 1 kickoff on Oct. 28.

Overview

  • The game unlocks simultaneously on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC at 8 a.m. PDT/11 a.m. EDT/4 p.m. BST on Oct. 10 with no early-access window or regional workarounds.
  • Preloading is available to speed up launch-day play across platforms, with Epic Games Store noted as the exception for now.
  • Standard ($69.99) and Phantom ($99.99) preorders include the Tombstone Pack, while Phantom adds cosmetics, XP boosts and a BF Pro Token; EA Play Pro on PC includes Phantom at release and the game is not on Game Pass.
  • Launch update delivers 200-plus fixes and tuning from beta feedback, along with dedicated Conquest, Breakthrough and Escalation queues, broader playlist rotations, UI improvements and Portal rebranded as Community.
  • Some physical copies surfaced early with claims of active servers and a playable campaign, though EA reiterates servers go live on Oct. 10 and these reports remain unverified.
