The official reveal of Battlefield 6 is still a day away, but a fresh leak has spoiled some of the surprise, detailing an October release date, an $80 price point, and a pricier premium edition if you want to spend even more money on EA's latest FPS.

Battlefield 6 hits PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on October 10 at a price of €79.99, according to reliable leaker billbil-kun reporting at Dealabs. While it's technically possible that Euro price might translate differently to USD, for the vast majority of games, €80 translates to $80. If you thought Xbox's sudden turnaround on $80 games was a sign of things to come, you might want to adjust your expectations.

There will also be a deluxe "Phantom Edition" available for €30 more, though we don't know precisely what'll be included. "Contrary to some rumors, the Phantom Edition is not a Collector's Edition," according to a Google translated version of the French report. "It is rather a Deluxe Edition, exclusively digital, including additional in-game content. No early access will be granted: both editions will be available simultaneously on October 10, 2025."

Given the history of Battlefield, so what? Anyone buying at launch only has themselves to blame.

The threat of me not being willing to pay that for a game will continue to persist as well. Let's see who breaks first.

Lol the premium edition will $110.

They're really trying to keep the server load low on launch are they. There's gonna be a nice 6 players on a 64v64 map in a game mode that's riddled with bugs.

For some reason I have a bigger urge to jump in the Atlantic than to buy this game.
