The answer to this is YES, Battlefield 6 will have a battle royale mode, but with a catch. According to early leaks and community buzz, Battlefield 6 is expected to have a battle royale mode that'll be completely different from its main multiplayer offering.
This new model is expected to be set in Los Angeles, California, and be a significant departure from past Battlefield locations. It hints towards an urban warfare theme that could provide first tactical challenges and map dynamics.
This isn't the first time EA is experimenting with battle royale in the Battlefield franchise. Previously, Battlefield V also introduced "Firestorm," a one-time attempt that struggled to capture a stable player base. However, the battle royale genre is already more popular than ever, and EA seems to be making the mode free to play mainly to attract large audiences and compete directly with other popular titles.
While official details remain limited, community insiders believe that this mode will feature destructive environments, large player counts, and squad-based mechanics that align with the franchise's core identity.
Will Battlefield 6 battle royale be free to play?
Yes, the battle royale mode in Battlefield 6 will be absolutely free to play. However, other core experiences, including campaign and multiplayer, will be paid, and there are some significant advantages in terms of free-to-play access in the game.
Also, while the battle royale mode is free to play, players will have to purchase the game, which will cost roughly around $79.99 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S and $69.99 for PC users.
