Battlefield 6 Going Free For a Week As Rival Shooters Turn Up The Pressure

Expert Verified By

Your Chance To Play BF6 For Free Next Week!

Story Highlight
  • Battlefield 6 is set to receive a free, week-long trial on November 25.
  • This trial will allow players to experience 5 game modes across 3 maps.
  • The trial comes following intense competition from games like Arc Raiders.

Battlefield 6 has been a huge deal for Dice and EA’s popular first-person shooter IP. Expected to become the series’ fastest-selling entry by the end of the year, the game is in a comfortable position as it heads into the Holiday season.

However, EA and Dice are making sure they do the most they can to keep pace with the competition. A new trial for Battlefield 6 has been announced, opening up the first-person shooter for millions of new players.

Why it matters: Battlefield 6’s humongous start set the stage for the game’s long-term popularity, so this trial suggests the team is doing everything it can to sustain the current audience.

Battlefield 6 Season 1 Kicks Off In Just A Few Days

The free trial coincides with the release of Battlefield 6 Season 1. Fans can jump into the game on November 25 for free and enjoy a total of 5 modes across 3 maps till December 1.

Maps included in the trial include Siege of Cairo, Eastwood, and Blackwell Fields, allowing players to experience modes like Conquest, Breakthrough, Sabotage, and Team Deathmatch.

Elsewhere, Season 1 is set to introduce various new maps, weapons, and vehicles. The new content will be rolled out in three phases, with California Resistance having already made its debut yesterday.

Ultimately, Dice and EA’s goal here is to incentivize players to stick around for the long run with Battlefield 6. With games like Arc Raiders and even Black Ops 7 to an extent taking the spotlight, EA and Dice hope to ensure their latest release stays consistently popular.

At the time of writing, Arc Raiders is outselling both titles on Steam. It also boasts 133K concurrent players on Steam, beating Battlefield 6 by a solid margin of around 40K players.

Battlefield 6
BF6 Has Received A Lot of Criticism Lately, But The Game Remains Popular 

Despite the game’s initial burst of popularity, Battlefield 6 has also seen a lot of negativity lately. In particular, players have complained about slow progression, an excessive Battle Pass push from EA, small multiplayer maps, and more.

As such, this free trial should prove useful as a marketing tool for the game. In the past, free trials and discounts for Battlefield 2042 also proved to be quite effective, so it makes sense that the series’ latest entry is using similar practices once again.

What do you think about the free trial offerings? Let’s discuss in the comments and on the Tech4Gamers Forums.
