Battlefield 6 Is Free on Steam, but Not for Long
Battlefield 6 is currently free to play on Steam through October 20th, offering players a limited-time trial of EA’s military shooter coinciding with the launch of Season 5. The new season, which went live on October 13th, introduces substantial content including fresh maps, six new weapons, and two additional vehicles.
A notable addition to Season 5 is Rapid Royale, a faster-paced variant of the game’s free-to-play battle royale mode designed to appeal to players who prefer quicker matches. The season also features a limited-time Halloween event inspired by EA’s Dead Space franchise, introducing cosmetics and content themed around the sci-fi horror series, including armor inspired by protagonist Isaac Clarke and appearances of the franchise’s iconic alien Markers.
The free trial period serves as a strategic promotion for EA to attract new players during a content-heavy season. Players who enjoy the game during this window can opt to purchase the full experience and continue playing beyond October 20th.
