The official reveal of Battlefield 6 is still a day away, but a fresh leak has spoiled some of the surprise, detailing an October release date, an $80 price point, and a pricier premium edition if you want to spend even more money on EA’s latest FPS.
Battlefield 6 hits PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on October 10 at a price of €79.99, according to reliable leaker billbil-kun reporting at Dealabs. While it’s technically possible that Euro price might translate differently to USD, for the vast majority of games, €80 translates to $80. If you thought Xbox’s sudden turnaround on $80 games was a sign of things to come, you might want to adjust your expectations.
There will also be a deluxe “Phantom Edition” available for €30 more, though we don’t know precisely what’ll be included. “Contrary to some rumors, the Phantom Edition is not a Collector’s Edition,” according to a Google translated version of the French report. “It is rather a Deluxe Edition, exclusively digital, including additional in-game content. No early access will be granted: both editions will be available simultaneously on October 10, 2025.”
I’m very curious to see if they’ve learned their lesson from 2042, or just trust that it’ll sell with reputation alone. The development cycle doesn’t give me too much hope unfortunately

3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
