"Battlefield 6's rollout on publisher Electronic Arts' own PC app didn't go exactly smoothly, with players left unable to play on launch day. Since then, the issue has since been resolved, and EA is giving out free season passes and XP boosts for those who were impacted. The issue affected players who had pre-ordered Battlefield 6 via the EA App launcher on PC."
"In addition, EA is throwing in a free premium battle pass for Battlefield 6's upcoming Season 1. Those who already own the premium Season 1 battle pass through the game's pricier Phantom Edition will instead receive the Season 2 battle pass for free. Despite the EA App hiccups, Battlefield 6's launch was surprisingly smooth across platforms, especially compared to previous launches for the franchise, many of which resulted in extended periods of server downtime."
"That said, some players did run into a few other issues players during the launch weekend. One bug, which saw jump momentum affected while using certain weapons, has already been fixed. A problem that still needs addressing allows players in multiplayer matches to get out of bounds and onto rooftops that aren't supposed to be accessible, creating problems for those in a match who aren't taking advantage of the exploit. It remains to be seen when a fix will be coming."
An EA App outage on October 10 prevented some PC players who pre-ordered Battlefield 6 from accessing the game at launch. EA resolved the outage and granted affected players 12 double hardware XP boosts and 12 double career XP boosts. EA also provided a free premium Season 1 battle pass to impacted players, or a free Season 2 pass for those who already owned the Phantom Edition's Season 1 pass. The overall launch was smoother across platforms than prior franchise launches, though some bugs were reported: a jump-momentum issue was fixed, while an out-of-bounds rooftop exploit remains unresolved. Battlefield 6 peaked at over 747,000 concurrent Steam players and Season 1 begins October 28 with new maps, modes, and weapons.
