The highly anticipated Battlefield 6 won't be accessible via Xbox Game Pass upon its release, but players can experience it through EA Play Pro. As one of the most awaited first-person shooters of the year, Battlefield 6 promises to redefine the franchise with its cutting-edge gameplay and immersive combat mechanics.

In an era where subscription services like Xbox Game Pass dominate, Battlefield 6 stands out by opting for EA Play Pro instead. Interestingly, its main competitor, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, will debut on Xbox Game Pass. This strategic move by EA ensures that Battlefield 6 remains exclusive to their platform, at least initially.

EA has clarified in their official FAQ that Battlefield 6 will offer significant perks for EA Play Pro subscribers. These include early access to the open beta, exclusive cosmetic items, XP boosts, and the Phantom Edition of the game (valued at $99.99). Priced at $16.99/month or $119.99/year, EA Play Pro is currently limited to PC gamers, leaving console players on PlayStation and Xbox without this option.

While Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers won’t get full access to Battlefield 6 at launch on October 10, they might still enjoy a 10-hour trial via EA Play, which is included in their subscription. This trial offers a glimpse into the game but falls short of the unlimited access provided for other titles.

Latest Game Information

Historically, EA adds its major titles to the base EA Play library 6-12 months post-launch. This means Battlefield 6 could eventually become available through Game Pass Ultimate, aligning with EA's past patterns. Until then, fans eager to dive into the action will need to purchase the game outright or subscribe to EA Play Pro.
