Battlefield 6 cost to play

Battlefield 6 is a first-person military shooter from Battlefield Studios, published by Electronic Arts, with a single-player campaign and large-scale multiplayer with tanks, jets and helicopters. It came out on 10 October 2025 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The game is paid; each season adds a battle pass with a free track and a premium track bought with Battlefield Coins (BFC).

Players

Battlefield 6 player count: the 30-day peak on Steam Charts was 76,672 concurrent players on 23 October 2026, with an average of about 31,616 over the same 30 days. About 46,910 were playing when we checked. The all-time peak on Steam is 656,067.

Monthly averages on Steam Charts were about 40,120 in July 2026, 42,861 in August and 30,883 in September. Steam Charts only counts the Steam version; players on the EA app, Epic, PlayStation and Xbox aren't included.

How much is the Battlefield 6 battle pass?

EA prices the premium battle pass at 1,100 BFC. On Steam UK, 1,100 Battlefield Coins cost £8.99, so the premium pass costs £8.99 if you buy exactly that pack. EA says the free tiers include "all functional content such as Weapons", so the premium track is not needed for weapons.

EA's Season 1 announcement lists 100 BFC on the free track (Recruit path, tier 3) and 200 BFC on the premium track (Prestige path, tier 10). That's 300 BFC back, well short of the 1,100 the pass costs. Check each season's pass for its own coin rewards.

Battlefield Pro is the bigger bundle: the premium pass plus 25 tier skips, a 15% XP boost and Pro-only items. EA's help page says it is bought with real money, not BFC, and Steam UK sells Season 5 Battlefield Pro for £21.99. If you upgrade to Pro after buying the premium pass, EA refunds the 1,100 BFC.

Age rating

Battlefield 6 is rated PEGI 16 on pegi.info for "sustained depictions of strong violence and strong language", and the label carries the in-game purchases notice. Steam's store data lists USK 18 and ESRB M.

Crossplay

Battlefield 6 has crossplay between PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. EA's help page says the setting can only be viewed and changed on consoles (Settings > System > Setup > Cross-play). A console player who turns it off only plays with people on the same platform. With it on, matchmaking puts console players with other console players first and brings in PC players when there aren't enough. PC players can't turn it off.
