Leaked Battlefield 6 release date semi-confirmed in standard and Phantom Edition post, and it looks like the threat of $80 games persists

Update: A disclaimer from EA has put more weight behind reports that Battlefield 6 will be released on October 10.

As Wario64 spotted, a now-unavailable Battlefield 6 page notes that one pre-order promotional offer will only be available up until October 10, 2025. The attached redemption code will be redeemable through October 10, 2027.

Based on EA's previous pre-orders and promotions, this suggests the game will be released on October 10. That said, this remains subject to change until EA, which may have temporarily delisted this page to update information, makes it official. Other details, like pricing, also need confirmation.

Original story:

The official reveal of Battlefield 6 is still a day away, but a fresh leak has spoiled some of the surprise, detailing an October release date, an $80 price point, and a pricier premium edition if you want to spend even more money on EA's latest FPS.

Battlefield 6 hits PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on October 10 at a price of €79.99, according to reliable leaker billbil-kun reporting at Dealabs. While it's technically possible that Euro price might translate differently to USD, for the vast majority of games, €80 translates to $80. If you thought Xbox's sudden turnaround on $80 games was a sign of things to come, you might want to adjust your expectations.

There will also be a deluxe "Phantom Edition" available for €30 more, though we don't know precisely what'll be included. "Contrary to some rumors, the Phantom Edition is not a Collector's Edition," according to a Google translated version of the French report. "It is rather a Deluxe Edition, exclusively digital, including additional in-game content. No early access will be granted: both editions will be available simultaneously on October 10, 2025."

Notably, the game will be a bit cheaper on PC, priced at €70, or €100 for the Phantom Edition. It's not entirely uncommon for PC games to be a bit cheaper than their console counterparts, though EA has been a bit inconsistent in its approach. Battlefield 2042 did get the $10 discount, though in that case it brought the price down from $70 on consoles to $60 on PC.

It's possible some of this information may be proven wrong by the time of the official Battlefield 6 reveal tomorrow, but I'd be surprised if it didn't bear out. For now, EA has put out a brief teaser of the new campaign, offering a taste of what to expect from both the reveal and the full game.

Here's hoping Battlefield 6 manages to earn a spot among the best FPS games out there.
