Battlefield 6 follows shock dev layoff round with a free trial week to claw back player interest
Following significant layoffs at Battlefield Studios, Electronic Arts is offering a free-to-play week for Battlefield 6 from March 17-24 to regain players. Despite its initial success in 2025, the game has seen a steep decline in player count, with fans citing issues like small maps and a lack of dedicated servers. EA's move is seen by many as a desperate attempt to fix the game's problems, which players believe require larger maps and better server infrastructure.
