EA Delays Battlefield 6 Season 2 to February 17 After Community Feedback

Season 1 extends with a Jan. 20 update, including a Frostfire Bonus Path on Jan. 27.

Overview

  • The new launch date slips roughly four weeks from the previously expected late-January window.
  • The Season 1 extension update on Jan. 20 adds new weekly challenges and keeps the current battle pass active.
  • The Frostfire Bonus Path can be progressed alongside the Season 1 pass, with free rewards like a hardware XP boost and vehicle skin, and premium items such as a weapon package and career XP boost.
  • EA says it is taking extra time to refine the next season based on player feedback, and it has not published a detailed Season 2 roadmap.
  • Player sentiment has cooled since launch, with recent Steam reviews shifting to Mixed and criticism focusing on microtransactions and the use of generative AI.
