If you’re looking for Battlefield 6 on Xbox Game Pass, the short version is simple: it’s not included at launch, and there’s no 10‑hour EA Play trial this time. The game is out now, with Season 1 content landing on October 28. The first broadly available subscription route will be when it joins the standard EA Play library—typically six to twelve months after launch—which then makes it playable for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members. There’s no date announced for that handoff.

Battlefield 6 on Game Pass today

Battlefield 6 does not launch into Xbox Game Pass or the console tier of EA Play. There’s also no early access period and no time-limited trial for EA Play or Game Pass Ultimate members. Any posts suggesting a 10‑hour trial are incorrect.

When Battlefield 6 is likely to hit Game Pass Ultimate

EA’s recent big releases typically move into the regular EA Play catalog about 6–12 months after launch. Because Xbox Game Pass Ultimate includes EA Play on console, Battlefield 6 should become playable with your Ultimate membership once it enters the standard EA Play library. Expect timing closer to the longer end for a flagship release, but there’s no confirmed window yet.

Note: PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate also include EA Play on Windows, but EA Play Pro is separate and not part of any Game Pass tier.

How to play Battlefield 6 right now

  • Buy the game on Xbox Series X|S from the Microsoft Store. You can purchase the console version directly from the official listing: Battlefield 6 on the Xbox Store.
  • Subscribe to EA Play Pro on PC for day‑one access to the full game. EA Play Pro is the premium, PC‑only tier: Join EA Play.
Tip: Standard EA Play (the tier bundled with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate) commonly offers a 10% discount on EA digital purchases, which may reduce the upfront price if you choose to buy on Xbox.

What to expect next

Plan on buying Battlefield 6 if you want to play on Xbox today, or use EA Play Pro if you’re on PC. If you’re fine waiting, the usual EA cadence points to a later arrival in the standard EA Play catalog; when that happens, Game Pass Ultimate members can jump in at no extra cost. Until then, watch for the Season 1 rollout on October 28 and the ongoing live updates that follow.
