Will Battlefield 6 be available on Xbox Game Pass?

Battlefield 6 will unfortunately not be coming to the Xbox Game Pass after its global release. The developers have confirmed that the game will only be available on day one to users who have an active EA Play Pro subscription (for PC players). However, this excludes anyone who would purchase the game directly on their preferred supported platform, be it PC or console.

The game has already conducted open beta test phases for the community to try out and experience the game in a limited environment. Those who wish to play the game on day one of release can choose to purchase the game and even enjoy some pre-order benefits (if available during the purchase date). This makes the game more exclusive and limits access.

This article will highlight the arrival of Battlefield 6 in EA's premium subscription service, alongside details we know so far.

Everything you need to know about Battlefield 6's premium service

Battlefield 6 drops on October 10, 2025, and it’s already one of the most hyped shooters of the year. But despite all the excitement, EA is holding it back from Game Pass. Even though Game Pass includes EA Play (the basic version), that’s not enough to unlock the full game right away.

Instead, you’ll need EA Play Pro, which is a separate, more expensive subscription that gives you

• Full access to Battlefield 6 the moment it launches.
• The Phantom Edition of the game (usually $99.99).
• Extra content like cosmetics and XP boosts.
• Early access to the open beta.

However, you can get access to EA Play Pro only on PC. If you're using Xbox or PlayStation, you can't get this through a subscription. You either buy the game outright or wait. Those are your only real options.

If you’ve got Game Pass Ultimate, you do get the standard EA Play included, which is great for older games but not helpful for Battlefield 6 on launch day.

Will Battlefield 6 Ever Come to Xbox Game Pass?

For the time being, there is no official confirmation from either EA or Battlefield Studios about the status of Battlefield 6 on Xbox Game Pass. However, there is plenty of evidence suggesting that the title will not be available on the subscription service anytime soon. Neither the Xbox Store page of the game nor any of the official trailers has any mention of the Game Pass. The lack of any official statement on Battlefield 6's Game Pass availability, when its mention could have significantly boosted the sales, shows that the title is not coming to the subscription service shortly.

That said, EA often gives new titles a 10-hour-long trial through regular EA Play. It hasn’t been confirmed yet for Battlefield 6, but it’s been done before with other big games like Battlefield 2042 and FIFA. So, while you probably won’t get full access, you might get a taste of the game with a timed trial.

EA has a habit of adding its big games to the regular EA Play library six months to a year after release. And because Game Pass Ultimate includes that library, you’d eventually get access there.

So, if you’re okay waiting a bit and you don’t need to be there on day one, there’s a decent chance Battlefield 6 will pop up on Game Pass sometime in mid or late 2026.
