There has been a lot going on regarding Battlefield 6. Players are getting scammed with the promise of fake playtest, in-game character classes getting leaked, maps are getting disclosed in leaked Battlefield Lab gameplay footage, and many more.Even the community was already aware of the game’s existence even before it was actually released and all thanks to the credible leakers and insiders. Now, another rumor has surrounded the internet which claims Battlefield 6 might be priced higher than usual. But is that really the case? Let’s find out.
EA slams all the Battlefield 6 cost rumors
Some recent rumors have claimed that Battlefield 6 is going to cost more than the usual price point of general AAA titles.
These rumors also got a solid base because of the current industry trends, where game publishers are leaning towards increasing the prices of their titles. AAA games have historically been stranding around the $60 price point. But after the pandemic hit the market in 2020, that price point saw a leap to around $70. Now recently, developers and publishers are thinking about another price hike.However, that’s not going to happen in the case of Battlefield 6.
In the recently held Q1 2025 earnings call of EA, CEO Andrew Wilson confirmed that Battlefield 6 is not going to cross the current $70 standard price point. This also debunks all the rumors circling around BF6’s increased price of $80.
Wilson went further by stating that the company will continue to look at opportunities to deliver great value to its players through “various pricing schemes over the course of time, but no dramatic changes [are] planned yet.”However, major gaming houses like Nintendo didn’t follow this step as Mario Kart World was recently released with a price tag of $80. Not only Nintendo, Microsoft has also confirmed that upcoming Xbox games are going to be priced at $80 as well, like The Outer Worlds 2. So, it’s really good to see EA not following the current market trends and allowing the players to grasp more opportunities. However, the potential price point of Battlefield 6 is still going to disappoint a lot of fans as it’s not going to be priced under $60 at least, which was the general price slab for AAA games before 2020.
