Battlefield 6 Has Bonus XP for PlayStation Plus Players
During the Battlefield 6 Open Beta, PlayStation gamers received exclusive rewards, which seemingly confirmed that publisher Electronic Arts has entered a marketing agreement with Sony.
While unannounced, it seems something similar is available in the final version of BF6, and it’s one that might upset gamers on other platforms.
If you’re on PS5 and you have friends who will be playing Battlefield 6, you’ll rank up faster than those on Xbox and PC.
Battlefield 6 PlayStation Plus Bonus XP Confirmed
Loading the game now (via our review key), you can see in the XP boosters section that those on PS5 who party up with other PlayStation gamers with active PlayStation Plus subscriptions will net a 15% XP bonus per match.
Check out the screenshot comparison we took:
Based on the wording, it seems you have to be an active PS Plus subscriber for this boost to kick in. So if you’re on a squad with PC gamers, you won’t benefit from any bonus, even if you’re on PS5 and have an active PS Plus subscription.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this triggers non-PlayStation gamers, as is often the case with these co-marketing deals. At the very least, we should be glad that there’s no content locked away for PlayStation gamers (at least not that we’re aware of).
We’ll monitor this and keep an eye out if EA does something similar on other platforms.
In other Battlefield 6 news, the day-one update changelog has been revealed, featuring over 200 fixes and improvements. If you’re looking for rewards that can be earned by any BF6 player regardless of platform, check out the Twitch Drops that will be available tomorrow, October 10.
