EA has launched a one-week free trial for Battlefield 6, six weeks after its initial release, in response to Activision's free weekends for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. The trial includes three maps and four game modes, though it was unfortunately impacted by a matchmaking outage at launch. Battlefield 6 reportedly outsold Black Ops 7.
Battlefield 6 tweaks Challenge rerolls so you don't get ones you can't - or don't want to - complete
Battlefield 6 and its free-to-play component, Battlefield Redsec, have updated the Challenge reroll system to better align with the game modes players own or prefer. Players who own the full game will now more frequently receive multiplayer challenges, while Redsec players will get battle royale or Gauntlet challenges. A new Casual Breakthrough mode with fewer real players and more AI bots has also been introduced for a more relaxed multiplayer experience.
