As Battlefield 6 inches closer to its global reveal, a massive leak has rocked the gaming community. The highly anticipated first-person shooter was set to generate excitement today with its official trailer launch. But before fans could even celebrate the visuals or gameplay, an unexpected report has already shifted the conversation to something far less thrilling: the price.
According to a leak from reliable industry insider @billbil_kun, the standard edition of Battlefield 6 is expected to launch at €79.99 for consoles and €69.99 for PC. This revelation contradicts earlier statements from EA executives, who just months ago had suggested that no price hikes were planned. On an investor call, both EA CEO Andrew Wilson and the company’s Chief Financial Officer implied that players could expect consistent pricing. That promise now appears to be in question.
The leak has set off alarm bells not only because of the high numbers but also because of the timing. With the trailer set to drop later today, this news has stolen some of the spotlight, stirring frustration in the fanbase. Many were hopeful that EA would avoid following the industry’s trend of pushing AAA games toward the hundred-dollar mark. Instead, the reported price hike puts Battlefield 6 right alongside the most expensive new titles from major studios.
The leaked pricing also includes a premium Phantom Edition that might cost as much as €109.99 on consoles, adding to growing concerns about accessibility and affordability in modern gaming. These prices are among the highest seen for a franchise entry, and for many fans, it feels like a letdown after months of anticipation.
While EA has yet to officially confirm the leaked prices, the community response has already been vocal. Social media platforms are filled with disappointed players calling for more transparency and fairness, especially for a series that has had both high points and stumbles in the past.
The full reveal trailer is set to go live later today, and while it will no doubt showcase the next generation of Battlefield action, the buzz may be dampened by the pricing controversy. Fans are hoping EA addresses the leak directly and offers clarity on what they are paying for and why.
Until then, excitement for Battlefield 6 is caught between hype and hesitation. All eyes are now on how EA handles the backlash once the trailer goes live.
