EA Pushes Battlefield 6 Season 2 to Feb. 17, Extends Season 1

EA cites a need to refine the update based on player feedback.

Overview

  • The new start date represents roughly a four-week delay from the previously expected late‑January window.
  • A Season 1 extension update arrives January 20 with unspecified fixes and stability improvements, new weekly challenges, and continued Battle Pass progression.
  • The Frostfire Bonus Path launches January 27 and can be progressed alongside the main pass, offering free rewards like a Hardware XP boost, a vehicle skin, and playercard items, with premium tiers for Battle Pass owners including a Weapon Package and a Career XP boost.
  • Interim incentives include daily login rewards, several double XP periods, and a Valentine's event to keep players engaged before Season 2.
  • Official details for Season 2 remain undisclosed; player sentiment has cooled with Steam reviews shifting to Mixed and criticism of monetization and AI artwork, while datamines hint at a new vehicle and weapons that are not yet confirmed.
