- It has been official confirmed that Battlefield 6 won’t be released on the old-gen consoles.
- As Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will be released on the last-gen consoles, fans were expecting Battlefield to follow the trend.
- The game will also not release on the latest Nintendo console, at least for now.
A lot of players from the last-gen consoles make up around half of the total Call of Duty users. That is pretty surprising given it has been a long time since the current-gen consoles have been released.
Due to that, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will be released on the last-gen consoles like PS4 and Xbox One. Sinces the upcoming COD will release on the last-gen, some fans were expecting the upcoming Battlefield to follow the same trend as the developer wants it to hit 100 Million players.
However, it has been officially confirmed that the game won’t release on the last-gen consoles.
Why it matters: Still to this date, a lot of players use the last-gen consoles, but it is pretty hard for developers to release games with next-gen graphics on the older generation.
The platforms for Battlefield 6 were confirmed with the release of its first trailer just recently. The game’s trailer surprised the fandom as it featured immense destruction, which the developer had promised the fandom.
However, most of the trailer didn’t feature in-game footage, so fans should wait till 31st July, as there will be a major multiplayer reveal, where a lot of in-game footage will surface online.
For those wondering, the game’s website doesn’t mention its release on the Nintendo Switch 2, so it is fair to assume it won’t be releasing on the platform, at least for now.
It should also be noted that EA seems to have mistakenly revealed the game’s release date. The disclaimer text mentions the pre-order offer will expire on October 10, 2025, which means Battlefield 6 is targeting that release window.
So, the game will be released on Xbox Series S|X, PlayStation 5, and PC on October 10, 2025, for €80.
