The Battlefield 6 release is finally upon us, and doesn’t that feel good to say after numerous Battlefield Labs sessions for the few and open betas for the many. As such, we’re spinning up a live blog to cover everything you need to know before the big launch and react to anything you need to know right after it.
Here are the Battlefield 6 release times and dates information you could need ahead of launch.
Right off the bat, things look promising. Battlefield 6 has built up some goodwill and word of mouth following various previews and betas, and reviews have helped sustain that momentum.
In our Battlefield 6 review, we give the FPS a four-star rating, calling it “more refined than innovative.”
“Battlefield 6 offers a carefully-crafted and layered multiplayer that strives to be its least threatening self, with innovation and creativity played down in favor of refining all the proven successes from the military genre,” we say. “What’s there will surprise nobody, but thrives when all those components come together – even if the single player can feel fairly threadbare as part of the package.”
That is the vibe elsewhere, too, as you can see from the Battlefield 6 Metacritic score.

And away we go! Battlefield 6 day is upon us. Weird to say after how long ago Battlefield 2042 launched and what state it launched in, but we move.
First things first, one of the most recent Battlefield 6-related things you might want to get caught up with is the reviews themselves, unless you’re going in completely spoiler-free, of course.
According to Metacritic, Battlefield 6 is the highest-rated game in the series in a hot minute. The campaign doesn’t come across greatly, though if you’re here for the multiplayer, then the good news is that it proves to be the highlight for many.
In fairness, multiplayer is what many spend the majority of their time with, so I don’t think many people will be too broken about that.
As for own review, which is linked above, we gave the FPS a four-star score and thought it was “more refined than innovative.”
