Battlefield is one of the most iconic shooter franchises, praised for its large-scale, realistic battles and focus on team cooperation. For years, fans have been eagerly awaiting news about the next entry in the series.
Battlefield 6 is finally coming – below you’ll find all the key details on when the game launches, when you can preload it, and when the game unlocks worldwide. EA has confirmed a global, simultaneous release – no region will be left behind.
Battlefield 6 Release Date
The new EA DICE title is officially set to launch on October 10, 2025. It will have a simultaneous launch on PC (via Steam, EA App and Epic Game Store), PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Unlike previous rollouts, this time EA is going for a fully synchronized global release, which means that players from all regions will enter the game at the very same moment, and also that there is no early access.
Preload Times
Battlefield 6 preload will be available from October 3, 2025 so a week before the official release. Players were also given preload times which are:
- 8 AM PT
- 11 AM ET
- 9 AM CST
- 12 PM BRT
- 4 PM BST
- 5 PM CEST
- 6 PM EEST
EA DICE scheduled a Multiplayer Reveal event for July, followed by an open beta in August, giving fans both an early look at the gameplay and the opportunity to test the game ahead of release. Those launch events are a great way to build the hype for the release and allow community to provide feedback.
Launch Times
As mentioned above, there will be no early access. That means that the Battlefield 6 start time is the same worldwide, set for the following hours:
- 8 AM PT
- 11 AM ET
- 9 AM CST
- 12 PM BRT
- 4 PM BST
- 5 PM CEST
- 6 PM EEST
The exact download size has not been officially revealed, but judging from recent Battlefield entries, players should prepare at least 55–80 GB of free storage depending on platform and edition. File sizes can differ a lot between platforms – PC is usually the largest, with PS5 typically smaller than Xbox. Although Battlefield 6 will include more content than 2042, that doesn’t mean the download will be much bigger.
Battlefield 6 will be the first new chapter in the franchise since 2021’s Battlefield 2042, making it one of the most highly anticipated returns for the classic multiplayer shooter. The previous entry left many fans disappointed due to its technical issues and lack of polish, so expectations are high that EA DICE will restore the series’ trademark large-scale battles and team-focused gameplay.
Final Thoughts
The Battlefield 6 release date is set and coming soon, bringing both PC gaming and console fans back to their favorite battlefield. With preload options and recent beta tests, anticipation for the new entry is higher than ever. Since the game will launch globally at the same time with no early access, make sure to mark your calendars and stay tuned for the latest updates from EA DICE.
