Battlefield 6 was officially released on October 10th yet the game is already being offered for free. Well, not totally free. Interested players who still haven’t bought it for whatever reason—maybe because you’re unsure of how it plays—can now play for free until December 2nd.
The free week is available on all supported platforms (that includes PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S) but only applies to multiplayer. Even so, that should be enough play time to get a proper impression of the gameplay, graphics, and multiplayer elements.
How to play Battlefield 6 for free
To take part in the Battlefield 6 free period, you need to go to the Battlefield 6 page in the EA app, on Steam, in the PlayStation Store, or Xbox Store after November 25th at 7 AM EST. There you should see a button for the free promotion, which you simply click to download the game. You may have to select it from a drop-down menu.
According to EA, the free promotion also runs under the name Battlefield REDSEC, the new game mode that’s always free and has a battle royale spin akin to Fortnite. However, you can play both multiplayer modes.
You will need an account to start the game and at least 55GB of storage space on your PC. (If you want to play on higher settings, you will need even more space for the corresponding graphics packs.)
What’s included for free?
New players can try out the complete multiplayer portion of Battlefield 6 during the free week. This includes five game modes, three different maps, and four classes. You can unlock as much content in the game as you want, and all the progress you’ve made will save and carry over if you buy the game after the free period ends.
Who should play Battlefield 6?
Anyone who’s a Battlefield fan but still hasn’t gotten started can use the free period to familiarize themselves with the new game. For anyone else who has perhaps never played Battlefield before, this is the ideal opportunity to get a taste of this popular franchise.
In contrast to this year’s Call of Duty, the multiplayer and story campaign of Battlefield 6 received consistently positive reviews. However, you can only play the campaign if you buy the game.
