Battlefield Studios has scheduled a limited-time free-to-play week for Battlefield 6, which is about to receive one of its biggest updates since launch. Battlefield 6 kicked off 2025 with a bang, smashing a concurrent player record in its early days on the market. However, the game later came under fire for several gameplay and performance issues that eventually brought its average Steam user review score down to “Mixed.” Now, Battlefield Studios plans to address many of those issues with a major June update while encouraging more players to check out everything that’s changed.
