Battlefield 6 Leaks Tip Launch Price as Rumored Beta Test Dates Surface

[Cpt.Jank]

EA recently confirmed that it has no intention of increasing prices for its AAA gaming experiences, and that claim has just been backed up by leaks that Battlefield 6 will launch with a starting price of $69.99. According to prolific leaker, @billbil_kun on X, the new shooter will be available in both digital and physical versions for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series, with identical pricing across all three platforms. Battlefield 6 digital edition will cost $69.99, while the newly added physical edition will cost $99.99.

Additional reports out of Insider Gaming also point to upcoming closed and open beta tests for Battlefield 6 in August. The first, the closed beta test, will run from August 7-8, while the open beta will take place on August 9-10. There will also supposedly be a second open beta from August 14-17. The reports indicate that access to the beta tests will be limited to those who pre-order the game. EA and DICE have scheduled a "Battlefield 6 Official Multiplayer Gameplay Reveal Event" livestream on YouTube for July 31 at 11:30 AM PT (8:30 PM CEST), and it seems likely that the beta dates will be announced during this livestream. Battlefield 6 is slated to launch on October 10, 2025.

I have too many games in my steam account i have paid £49.99 or £59.99 for. Tbh i don't really mind that much, if the game is good.

Agreed. Paid 85 EUR for DOOM The Dark Ages and 75 EUR for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 - Heart Of Chornobyl, both "deluxe" top-tier versions and I pretty much enjoy in both games so no regrets for a single cent spent on those. Same thing will be with BF6, if it will be good and have a good singleplayer campaign how BFBC2 and BF3 had, then why not.

I think the key point is a "starting price" of $69.99. It's EA, so I'm expecting them to upsell a bunch of things as DLC.
In order for BF6 to have a good multiplayer it needs custom servers and a server browser, not just skill based matchmaking.

Bought the game pass ultimate and there is no problem )

highest i pay for any game is 39.99, games like test drive sc and mindsunfinishedeye just proves my point more and more that games are not worth the sales price when release. I don't mind waiting for a year or too for the price to drop. i have 630 pc games. I'm good. I will be playing the open beta when it drops though.

missed the last batch of BF , hope this one is as good as a Hybrid BF2/BF4 = Maybe i hook up with my old clan [FB] ..

$100 for the "physical edition". Bet it comes with a digital key linked to Steam.....maybe EA.

It's EA with BF. There will be the Premium edition/pack.

 

[TheDeeGee]

$70 means it isn't infested with microtransactions right? RIGHT?... riiiight.

Not that i was planning to support EA, my last game was Bad Company 2 and i'd like to leave it at that banger.

Do you see "console only" anywhere near that?
