Battlefield is making its return, and it might be better than ever before. After months of leaks and hints, Battlefield 6 was officially revealed in July, confirming it will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC starting October 10, 2025. This is the first new installment since Battlefield 2042, which didn’t receive the warmest reviews in 2021, so the series has a lot to prove.
Whether you’re a dedicated Battlefield fan planning to jump right into the new game, or you’ve seen and read enough to get interested, you can pre-order Battlefield 6 now, ahead of its October release. All the details, including pricing, editions, and pre-order bonuses, are available here.
Battlefield 6’s Phantom Edition and Pre-Order Bonuses
The full reveal confirmed that Battlefield 6 won’t be launching at a $80 price tag, despite industry trends moving in that direction. EA has repeatedly stated they don’t plan to raise the standard game price to that level — and it’s mainly good news for fans, considering the current state of the franchise.
The standard edition of Battlefield 6 is priced at $70 across all platforms. When you pre-order before October 10, you’ll receive the Tombstone Pack, which includes a soldier skin and an experience points (XP) boost.
The more expensive Phantom Edition includes everything in the standard version plus additional content. This edition grants access to four soldier skins, a special melee knife skin, a vehicle skin, the Battle Pass with 25 tier skips, and more exclusive items. Here’s a comparison of the two editions:
Feature | Standard Edition | Phantom Edition |
---|---|---|
Base Game | ✓ | ✓ |
Tombstone Pack (Pre-Order Bonus) | ✓ | ✓ |
Battle Pass (25 Tier Skips) | ✘ | ✓ |
Four Soldier Skins | ✘ | ✓ |

Pre-Order Bonuses
Pre-ordering any edition of Battlefield 6 gives you the Tombstone Pack, which features a soldier skin and an XP boost. The Phantom Edition provides even more extra content, making the purchase more appealing if you’re looking for additional customization and in-game items. Both editions are available for pre-order now through specific links for each platform.
Play Battlefield 6 Early with Open Beta Weekend
The multiplayer mode is the core experience, and EA plans to fine-tune it before launch with two open beta weekends scheduled for August. Players on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC can join in to get a taste of what’s to come. The first beta runs from August 9 at 4 am EST to August 11 at 4 am EST, and the second runs from August 14 at 4 am EST to August 17 at 4 am EST.
