If you're still gaming on PS4 or Xbox One, you may be wondering if you'll be able to play Battlefield 6, the long-rumored return of DICE's sandbox shooter. With most of the game developers dropping support for old-generation consoles, the possibility of newly launched games being available on those consoles is very low.
This makes players wonder if they'll be able to experience the upcoming Battlefield on their PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Will Battlefield 6 be available on Xbox One and PS4?
The answer to this is NO, Battlefield 6 isn't expected to launch on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
According to industry insiders and recent press reports, EA is targeting only PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC with the goal to enable 128-player matches, bigger maps, and more granular destruction without having to rely on last-gen hardware.
Renowned leakers add that last-gen versions were discontinued in late 2024 due to internal testing revealing significant frame rate drops and streaming issues on Jaguar-based devices.
EA's marketing previously hinted at a scaled-down port, but that 2021 backup plan appears shelved mainly to avoid a Cyberpunk-style fiasco and partly to enable teams to focus on current-gen polish.
So, what are the options here? Players can either upgrade to a relatively affordable Xbox Series S or wait to see if EA supports Xbox Cloud Gaming or PlayStation's incoming PS Portal stream.
So unless EA decides to take a surprise U-turn, which is nearly impossible, PS4 and Xbox One users will probably need new hardware or a good streaming alternative to enjoy Battlefield 6.
