Battlefield 6 Won’t Release On Last-Gen Consoles Unlike COD

Expert Verified By

Aims To Attract 100 Million Players!

Story Highlight
  • It has been officially confirmed that Battlefield 6 won’t be released on the last-gen consoles. 
  • Because Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will be released on the last-gen consoles, fans were expecting Battlefield to follow suit.
  • The game will also not be released on the latest Nintendo console, at least for now.

A significant number of players from last-gen consoles make up around half of the total Call of Duty users today. This may come as a surprise given how long it has been since the current-gen consoles were released. 

Due to that, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will be released on last-gen consoles, such as the PS4 and Xbox One. This also means that fans were expecting Battlefield to follow the same trend, as the developer aims for it to reach 100 million players.

However, it has been officially confirmed that the game won’t release on the older hardware.

Why it matters: To this day, many players still use last-gen consoles, but it is quite challenging for developers to release games with modern graphics on older hardware.

Battlefield 6
Battlefield 6 is a highly anticipated title in the series.

The platforms for Battlefield 6 were confirmed after the release of the first trailer. Battlefield 6 will ship on PS5, Xbox Series S|X, and Steam, and it appears to be skipping the Nintendo Switch 2, as the game’s website does not mention this platform.

The first official trailer surprised the fandom quite a bit, as it featured immense destructionwhich the developer had promised previously. This destruction and other ambitious ideas are likely why the studio decided to ditch last-gen consoles altogether.

However, most of the trailer didn’t feature in-game footage, so fans should wait till 31st July. A major multiplayer reveal is set for this date, which should reveal plenty of in-game footage and uncut gameplay.

It should also be noted that EA seems to have mistakenly revealed the game’s release date.

The disclaimer text mentions that the pre-order offer will expire on October 10, 2025, indicating that Battlefield 6 is targeting an October release window. As such, the game will be released on Xbox Series S|X, PlayStation 5, and PC on October 10, 2025, for €80.

What do you think about the fact that the upcoming Battlefield is skipping older hardware in favor of the PS5 and Xbox Series S|X?
