$80 games persist, but so do I

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.”
