Rumor: Battlefield 6 Battle Royale Releases the Same Month as the Full Game

While Battlefield 6 isn’t even out yet, it seems the release date for the game’s Battle Royale mode has leaked, and it’ll be out the same month as the game.

Bear in mind, this is all based on a rumor, so before reacting, take heed that this should be taken with a grain of salt.

If you played the Battlefield 6 Open Beta, chances are you might have noticed how auto-spotting might have been a tad too powerful, as it even marked players even if they were obscured by smoke and more.

If true, Call of Duty Warzone will see a fierce rival way earlier than expected, which should make the battle royale genre a lot more exciting.

Battlefield 6 Battle Royale Release Date Leaks and It Might Surprise Players

The rumored date comes from Modern Warzone, who’s known to be a Call of Duty content creator. That said, he is someone who doesn’t throw out rumors and leaks, and as such, this is worth nothing.

According to Modern Warzone, Battlefield 6’s Battle Royale mode will be released on October 28, 2025, which I gather is a lot sooner than anyone could have predicted.

Adding to the rumor, Modern Warzone shared that original reports of the Battle Royale mode of BF6 releasing “months after launch” were false.

Battlefield 6 is shaping up to be a true return to form, with it looking like DICE is listening to the community and nailing down most of the requested features.

“Original reports that were widely published had BR set for “months after launch” but I was always told the plan was for the BR to arrive shortly after launch, not months later. Recently got enough to post publicly about it but have always been told that rumor was inaccurate,” Modern Warzone added.

The release date might come as a surprise to some people, given DICE has only mentioned testing of the mode is beginning this week in BF Labs. Of course, given that there’s already leaked gameplay of BF6 Battle Royale, it might be in a more advanced state than anyone thought.

Again, treat this with a grain of salt, but the release date does seem plausible. If so, then Call of Duty Warzone and Black Ops 7 will finally have a suitable challenger for the military shooter space.

In other Battlefield 6 news, Battlefield Studios revealed the resolution and performance of the console versions, which should make gamers happy.

Battlefield 6 will be released on Oct, 10 for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, and if rumors are to be believed, its Battle Royale mode will be out a few weeks later on Oct. 28, and it will be free-to-play.
