Report: Battlefield 6 Physical Copies Already Out in the Wild; Servers Are Said to Be Up Already
While Battlefield 6 won’t be released until later this week, on October 10, it appears that some retailers have decided not to adhere to the street date for when the game should be sold, as people are reporting that some have already managed to buy a copy.
Retailers breaking street dates of games (whether intentionally or not) is nothing new, and we’ve seen it happen to a lot of big game releases.
What’s interesting with this one, however, is the claim that servers are online.
Battlefield 6 PS5 Discs Already Out Before Oct. 10
Multiple people online have shared sealed copies of Battlefield 6 for PS5 seemingly out in the wild. While there is a chance that these are doctored given how easy it is to print the game’s cover art and slap it on a PS5 case, we’re giving people the benefit of the doubt since there’s more than one. Here’a na image from Reddit user grecea_vlad:
Not only that, but when asked if they can play the campaign, the same poster said yes, and that servers are online.
A few things to note: we have no way of verifying if the servers are up or not, but there is a chance it is, and that’s because of reviewers (press and content creators). EA could have turned the servers on so that reviewers can get some hands-on time with the final build of the game. Usually, when this happens, a complete server wipe is triggered on launch day, so that everyone starts their progression at the same time.
If you’re one of the lucky few who got a copy and are able to play, best to blast through the short campaign, earn those trophies, so they are out of the way.
While the leaked physical copies aren’t official, what is official is info about the game’s servers, which DICE has confirmed will have a server tick rate of 60hz — at least at launch.
