Details regarding the review embargo for EA and Battlefield Studios’ upcoming first-person shooter, Battlefield 6, have been revealed.
Battlefield fans will soon be able to learn what critics have to say about the next entry in the first-person shooter series. The game’s single-player story takes place in the year 2027, focusing on a war between a divided NATO alliance and Pax Armata, a powerful private military organization. Meanwhile, the multiplayer mode lets players choose from four distinct classes i.e. Assault, Engineer, Support, and Recon, each offering unique weapon loadouts and tactical roles on the battlefield. Alongside returning multiplayer modes, Battlefield 6 has introduced a new match type called Escalation.
What Is the Review Embargo Date for Battlefield 6?
Based on Twitter/X user charlieINTEL‘s report regarding the content embargo schedule for Battlefield 6, the game’s review embargo is expected to be lifted on October 9, 2025, a day before launch. The timing is at around 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET / 4 PM BST / 5 PM CEST.
It’s worth reminding fans that Battlefield 6 is now available for pre-load on the PlayStation and Xbox stores for those who pre-ordered the game. It will come with the latest update pre-installed. Meanwhile, those who purchased a physical copy of the game will need to download the day one update. The file size of the PS5 version of Battlefield 6 (71.2 GB) is notably larger than that of the prior entry, Battlefield 2042, on PS5 (42.717 GB). Meanwhile, the PC version comes in at 75.97 GB.
Battlefield 6 is set to expand upon the franchise’s trademark large-scale conflicts with dynamic destruction, advanced player mobility, and the return of fan-favorite game modes. EA has confirmed that both traditional multiplayer and new large-scale operations will feature at launch, designed to accommodate up to 128 players on current-generation hardware and PC. The game will also support cross-platform progression, ensuring that player unlocks and stats carry across platforms. Digital pre-orders will include the game’s day-one update, while those opting for physical editions may need to install additional content separately.
