Battlefield 6 launched October 10, 2025, at 8 a.m. PT worldwide. I checked EA’s own launch-times post. That is 5 p.m. CET if you need the other clock. Every region got the same unlock. The game is on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam, the EA App, and the Epic Games Store. Those storefronts are the ones EA wrote down. I am not adding a last-gen SKU they did not sell.
EA’s launch press release prices the Standard Edition at $69.99 and the Phantom Edition at $99.99, both in USD. Phantom includes the full game, the Phantom Squad soldier skin pack, two weapon packages, a vehicle skin, a combat knife skin, and a Battlefield Pro token for Season 1: the Battle Pass, 25 tier skips, cosmetics, and XP tokens. EA Play Pro on PC gets Phantom Edition on day one through the EA App. That is the official bundle math. I am not inventing a Gold Edition they did not print.
Season 1 Was Already on the Calendar
The first season was dated before anyone finished the campaign. EA’s launch note and the Season 1 roadmap both say October 28. Rogue Ops is the opening phase: Blackwell Fields, a new Southern California map, and Strikepoint, a 4v4 first-to-6 mode with no respawns and one capture point. EA also lists the Traverser Mark 2 armored transport, the SOR-300C carbine, the Mini Scout sniper, and the GGH-22 sidearm. I am leaving the attachment names as they wrote them. Rail Cover and the SU-230 LPVO unlock through a Season 1 challenge assignment.
Two more Season 1 dates are official. California Resistance hits November 18 with Eastwood, an 8v8 limited-time mode called Sabotage, and more hardware. Winter Offensive hits December 9 with an Ice Lock visual update to Empire State and a Freeze modifier that punishes you if you stay off the heat. Those are EA dates. I am not sliding them because a playlist felt long.
REDSEC Is the Free Half of the Same Day
October 28 is also when Battlefield REDSEC opens. EA calls it a free-to-play destination built on the same DNA: Battle Royale on Fort Lyndon for up to 100 players in squads or duos, plus Gauntlet, a knockout mission series for eight squads. Portal gets the Fort Lyndon sandbox for free. Gameplay-impacting maps, modes, weapons, and gadgets stay free or earnable. That sentence is in the launch post. Cosmetics are the paid lane. I am not turning the Battle Pass into a paywall for the new carbine.
The launch package itself is the usual Battlefield pitch: large-scale multiplayer, a single-player campaign, and Portal with creator tools. A required day-one patch was already flagged on October 7. PC still needs Secure Boot, TPM 2.0, and the rest of the Javelin list EA posted. I am not rewriting that as optional.
8 a.m. PT Was the Unlock, Not the End of the Schedule
The official live-action launch trailer is on the Battlefield YouTube channel, which is the cut I am embedding. Watch @Battlefield for the North American account that posts the clocks. The primary pages are EA’s October 7 launch-times note, the October 10 press release, and the Season 1 roadmap. $69.99 and $99.99 are the USD editions EA printed. October 10 at 8 a.m. PT was the unlock. October 28 was already on the same piece of paper.
