Some EA app owners couldn't access the FPS at launch

Some Battlefield 6 players who bought the blockbuster on EA's app were temporarily locked out of the game at launch, but the publisher's now making amends "...with perks."

Battlefield 6 is the best-rated game in the series in years, and it absolutely crushed EA's Steam records with over 700,000 concurrent players logging in almost immediately, but it wasn't all smooth sailing.

EA wasn't content with just fixing the bug, either. "Today, we experienced an outage on the EA app that prevented some of our players who pre-ordered Battlefield 6 from accessing the game, and we know this can be frustrating so we wanted to offer an apology… with perks," the studio(s) wrote in an in-game message, reposted to Reddit.
