- Leaks have emerged revealing that Battlefield 6 will be EA’s first title to cost €80.
- EA has adopted the inflated price tag after previously saying it wouldn’t raise prices.
- The official reveal is set for tomorrow, so we will receive a confirmation soon.
EA is set to announce details about Battlefield 6 officially on July 24. However, leaks have emerged revealing everything there is to know about the title, including the price tag, and unfortunately, it isn’t good news, especially for console gamers.
Battlefield 6 is set to be the first EA game to cost the new AAA price tag of €80. The title is reportedly scheduled to release on October 10, which aligns with the usual release window for the franchise.
Why it matters: EA previously stated that it opposes the idea of a new inflated price tag for AAA games and will not implement it with its titles. However, there seems to be a change of heart.
According to reliable leaker Billbil-kun, Battlefield 6 on consoles will cost €80, while for PC players it will retain the €70 price tag. The reason behind the change is unclear, but it represents a deviation from what the company previously stated.
There will be 2 different versions of the game, the Standard and the Phantom Editions. We can expect the latter to come with some additional perks. Nonetheless, there is no early access regardless of which edition you buy.
All in all, this seems like EA’s official steps into the $80 price tag for new games. However, this pricing is in Euros, so it may translate to $70 when officially revealed. For now, it seems the company is adopting inflated prices.
