Battlefield 6 teases battle royale, naval combat push

Battlefield 6 launches worldwide on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S on Oct. 10, with global times posted, and about 1.7 million players expected by week’s end. Battlefield Studios and EA plan to outline post-launch plans on Oct. 11 and provide regular updates after that. In a Community Update, the studio reported findings from Battlefield Labs and detailed changes that players from the testing and summer beta will see at launch on Friday. The team signaled work on a fresh take on battle royale, and said requests for naval combat, the Little Bird helicopter, and platoons are under review, while Season 1’s road map omits naval combat and the Little Bird, but later seasons remain possible.
