Battlefield 6 is like many other games in recent months, with the price of the game at launch being a hot topic and a mystery that gamers rightfully want to solve. Thankfully, it seems like Battlefield 6 won’t cost more than the previous game in the franchise. If you’ve been living under a rock since the start of 2025, then you’ve understandably missed much of the discourse surrounding the increase in price of games on current platforms. Concerns about the raising of standard versions have bubbled up more of late. Thanks to the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2. Nintendo announced that some games would be released at a higher price than they were last generation.
This led to other publishers revisiting the idea of raising the cost of a standard edition game. Borderlands 4 is one notable title coming later this year that seems to have toyed with the idea of pushing the price up to $80. This is a $10 increase over the current price of $70. Gearbox has confirmed that it won’t be raising the price, though. Battlefield 6 also appears to be sticking to the current pricing model. And now seems like as good a time as any to bring this up since the multiplayer reveal trailer goes live at 11:30 AM this morning.
EA confirms it won’t be changing its price strategy for Battlefield 6 or EA Sports FC 26
Today, EA held its most recent quarterly earnings call. As reported by IGN, the publisher has confirmed that it won’t be changing up its pricing strategy for top games, including Battlefield 6 and EA Sports FC 26. That means players can expect Battlefield 6 to stay at about $70. The report states that EA will “continue to price games at roughly $60-$70 for PC, and $70-$80 for console.” That suggests that Battlefield 6 should still launch at $70 .
This is good news for anyone interested in the game, which is supposed to launch later this year. That being said, there is some nuance to this whole statement. EA has confirmed that Battlefield 6 won’t be $80, but it also said that games won’t be $80 “for now.” That suggests that at some point, EA may be looking to introduce those higher prices. It just won’t be in the immediate future. The publisher doesn’t currently have plans to alter its price strategy. However, that doesn’t mean it won’t eventually plan to do so.
EA recently launched the Battlefield campaign trailer earlier this month , and it’s preparing to go live with the multiplayer later this morning. A rumor also suggests that the game will launch later this year, specifically on October 10 .
The next Battlefield , which is now officially confirmed to be called Battlefield 6, looks to also have a confirmed launch date, thanks to an unexpected leak. It is worth noting that this date could be inaccurate, or it could end up changing as the game is still in active development. In other words, EA could always delay it if the need arises. In which case, this leaked date would end up being a useless date to know.
The potential launch date leak is popping up after EA has officially revealed the game in a trailer for the first time. On July 24, Battlefield 6 got its first official trailer. This teaser was essentially one big cinematic and only covered the campaign. So, there’s still plenty about Battlefield 6 that’s unknown. For example, what the multiplayer is going to be like. Luckily, EA is going to show off the multiplayer in its own reveal trailer on Jul 31. That means we’ll get to see what the multiplayer is like next week.
A leak says the Battlefield 6 launch date is going to be October 10
Following the official game teaser trailer on July 24, the launch date for the game was leaked. Billbil-kun, which is known for leaking information about content, including games, offered up a ton of details about the game the day before the trailer. This included pricing for the game in Europe . As well as the potential launch date, which is supposed to be October 10.
This isn’t an official confirmation that this is when the game is dropping. However, pre-order promotions for games generally don’t disappear until the game launches. So, in this case, this seems to be the launch date. This launch date would make sense, given that the multiplayer trailer is coming next week, with a beta test rumored for early August.
