Battlefield 6 Maps and Modes Available at Launch
With Battlefield 6 now fully revealed, more info about the game has surfaced. EA not only invited MP1st to get some early hands-on time with Battlefield 6, but also on official information about the upcoming shooter.
We can finally share with you all the confirmed list of maps and modes that will be available come its October 10 launch.
Fans can expect the return of some of the series’ most popular modes, featuring maps set in locations from all over the world, including one unexpected remake.
List of Battlefield 6 Maps and Modes
For those wondering, Battlefield 6 will be launching with nine maps and eight modes, as well as Portal, with more planned to arrive post-launch during each season. The map count is comparable to that of past Battlefield games, except for Battlefield 4, which launched with 10 maps, and Battlefield 2042, which launched with seven maps.
So let’s start with the confirmed modes, which include fan favorites such as Rush and Conquest, as well as some new modes to the series.
All Battlefield 6 Modes
- Conquest – It’s all-out warfare, with jets, tanks, and helicopters in full play. Two teams battle it out for capture points while trying to deplete each other’s resources until only one team is left standing.
- Breakthrough – Similar to Rush, only the map is divided into sectors with capture points that attackers must get and hold down all at the same time in order to progress the match.
- Rush – Attackers vs Defenders, where one time arms a bomb, while the other defends. If the attackers are successful, the round advances on to the next sector of the map, until all lives are run out, or the attackers win.
- Squad Deathmatch – Four squads compete against each other.
- Domination – Infantry-only mode where teams fight for points to hold, to earn score.
- Team Deathmatch – A classic game mode where the only thing that matters is kills.
- King of the Hill – Close-quarters battle where players fight for a single control point, which moves after a certain amount of time.
- Escalation – A new experience to the Battlefield franchise that sees two teams battle it out for control points. However, as a team expands its territory, fewer control points will remain, eventually becoming a battle for the last points.
Also returning is a revamped Portal that will feature even more options, as well as a returning server browser and playlist. The updated version of Portal will allow players to edit playspaces and move around certain elements of an existing map. There’s new custom and AI scripting, which will allow players to create unique UI and even have NPCs. With Portal, the possibilities are nearly endless, and players will be able to craft almost any mode they desire.
Some examples that the team listed were:
- A horde-like mode that allows players to buy weapons from a buy screen, and survive rounds against enemy AI (Call of Duty Zombie, anyone?)
- An experience with a custom UI that delivers an “arcade-style” puzzle mode.
- Some verified community experiences, such as Conquest, except with no vehicles.
- An experience that plays like a top-down 2D shooter.
- An experience where players scale a tall tower, attempting to reach the top (image below).
The server browser is also returning for the Portal.
All Battlefield 6 Maps Available at Launch
- Empire State
- Iberian Offensive
- Mirak Valley
- Liberation Peak
- Manhattan Bridge
- New Sobek City
- Operation Firestorm
- Saints Quarter
- Siege of Cairo
In addition, some of the maps will feature different variations depending on the mode played. Siege of Cairo, for example, has a Conquest and a team Deathmatch version. However, these two versions of the map aren’t 1:1 to each other, as Battlefield Studios has crafted combat zones to maximize the quality of each map. You can expect the placement of objects to be different, and even the scale of destruction and how it reacts to play differently between each map variation. So while the list only consists of nine maps, there are multiple variations of each, each catered to whatever mode they support.
More about the maps:
Empre State
An infantry-only map set in the streets of Brooklyn.
Iberian Offensive
Set in Gibraltar, players can expect plenty of alleyways, winding streets, and buildings to destroy for tactical advantages.
Kundara Valley
This is the largest map at launch, and a perfect map for all-out warfare.
Liberation Peak
Set in the mountainside of Tajikistan, players can expect plenty of cover and height advantage, as jets and helicopters battle it out, and tanks roam below.
Manhattan Bridge
Said to feature large-scale destruction, Manhattan Bridge will feature intense close-quarter combat, as attack helicopters take to the skies.
New Sobek City
All-out war wages in the outskirts of Cairo’s suburbs, featuring construction sites and massive sand dunes.
Operation Firestorm
Battlefield veterans will no doubt recognize this following map, as it’s a remake of the classic Battlefield 3 map.
Saints Quarter
Set in an old town in Gibraltar, Saints Quarter is a close-quarters infantry-only map that will feature destructible buildings.
Siege of Cairo
Set in the streets of Central Cairo, Siege of Cairo will see players battle it out in an intense urban setting. Battle it out in alleyways, and duck in and out of buildings as tanks roam around, destroying all in their path.
As mentioned before, you can expect even more maps and modes to arrive with each new season, with the first season of Battlefield 6 arriving soon after the game’s launch.
Battlefield 6 arrives on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, on October 10, 2025.
