Update #2: It seems Battlefield Studios has found a solution to an issue that's been preventing some Battlefield 6 players from accessing the game and telling them they need to buy DLC.

A new tweet from the Battlefield Comms Twitter account reads: "The team is in the process of deploying a resolution for the issue that causes players on the EA App to be unable to start game modes due to missing DLC/content."

The Battlefield 6 roadmap includes all sorts of new maps and weapons starting with Season 1, Rogue Ops, which kicks off on October 29. California Resistance launches just three weeks later in November, and then three weeks after that, Winter Offensive starts in December. That's all free with the price of entry, though, with the only paid content we know about right now being in-store cosmetics and the like.

This is all to say, if you've already purchased Battlefield 6, I want to make it very clear that you shouldn't have to buy anything else to access the main campaign and multiplayer. Battlefield Studios has already acknowledged the issue, and hopefully it'll be sorted out in short order.

Battlefield 6 Metacritic score is the best the FPS series has had in years, but still can't match the likes of Battlefield 3
