Battlefield 6 is opening its doors to everyone later this month. The game will be free to play for a full week, giving new players a chance to jump in without spending a single rupee. The free multiplayer trial will run from November 25 to December 1 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The move comes just weeks after the game’s strong launch and growing player interest.
Battlefield 6 has impressed many players since its release. It recorded strong sales and positive reviews. Moreover, it managed to beat Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 in player counts during the first 24 hours of both games’ Steam launches.
However, the game is not perfect. Players have pointed out issues like limited map sizes, balancing problems, and the need for better anti-cheat measures. Even then, Battlefield 6 has maintained a dedicated player base. The free trial may attract even more long-term players.
Reportedly, the multiplayer trial will include 3 maps and 5 modes. It aims to give newcomers a clear idea of what to expect from the full game.
A new update dropped on November 18, but it is still unclear if those changes will appear in the trial version. Fans have long compared the standard Battlefield 6 multiplayer with the REDSEC battle royale mode. Many prefer the base multiplayer, and therefore, it is the version included in the upcoming trial.
Battlefield 6 also recently introduced a new map called Eastwood, adding another layer of excitement to the game.
Despite its success, Battlefield 6 is already dealing with cheater issues. This has raised concerns within the community. Even so, upcoming game modes are rumoured to focus heavily on multiplayer. The free trial could help developers gather feedback before rolling out major updates.
The game also faces tough competition from Call of Duty and the popular extraction shooter ARC Raiders. Still, recent updates have kept the player base engaged. Whether the free week will boost long-term numbers remains to be seen.
Many fans are still hopeful. They believe the offer shows the developers’ commitment to improving the game and supporting both existing and future players.
