The launch of Battlefield 6 is right around the corner, and EA has officially revealed the game’s global release times. As promised earlier this year, there will be no early access or staggered rollout across platforms. That means PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S players will all jump in at the same time when the game goes live.
While this synchronized launch is great for fairness, it’s a bit of a blow to New Zealand players, who are typically first to get access to new games. This time, they’ll have to wait until the very end of the global rollout — while North American and European players get the prime hours for launch day.

PC Players: Enable Secure Boot Before Launch
If you’re playing on PC, make sure Secure Boot is enabled on your system. Battlefield 6 requires this setting to run properly, so activating it in your BIOS will help you avoid launch issues or startup errors.
