Everything we know about the Battlefield 6 Battle Royale Mode

Battlefield 6 has officially been revealed, so we thought it high-time we did a round-up of everything we know about the Battle Royale mode that is reportedly coming with the next game in the franchise when it launches later this year.

The upcoming Battlefield 6, is set to include a Battle Royale mode with several details emerging from leaks and datamining efforts, primarily through EA's Battlefield Labs playtesting program. Here's a summary of what is known so far about the Battle Royale mode, based on available information.

Everything We Know About Battlefield 6's Battle Royale Mode

The Battle Royale mode is rumoured to be a free-to-play standalone game, separate from the main Battlefield 6 title, similar to Call of Duty: Warzone. It may launch months after the main game, which is rumoured to release on October 10th, 2025.

The mode is allegedly set in a modern-day context, with one map potentially being a remastered version of Operation Firestorm from Battlefield 3 and 4, located in Turkmenistan. The map features an expanded environment integrated with the main game’s narrative of NATO vs. Pax Armata, where players control elite units securing a secret R&D facility from private military contractors (PMCs). Another map based in California is also mentioned, featuring a "destructive ring" that shrinks the play area.

Similar to other Battle Royale games, players will probably drop into a combat zone, loot gear, and survive as a collapsing "NXC flamefront" or "Firestorm Ring" (like in Battlefield V) closes in. The last squad standing wins.

The mode reportedly includes PvP and PvE missions, such as eliminating squads, securing objectives, or targeting high-value targets. Rewards include field upgrades, weapon customization kits, and vehicle access keycards. Other squads can undertake counter-missions to steal rewards.

Vehicles are allegedly central to the mode, including jeeps, trucks, armoured vehicles, tanks, and helicopters. Players must find vehicle keycards to access vehicles at specific container sites, defending them during deployment. Tanks have limited fuel and ammo, earned through completing multiple contracts in a match.

A leaked unique feature allowing eliminated players to assist their squad by controlling drones, turrets, or cameras via Oversight Terminals. Drones can tag or attack enemies, adding a strategic layer post-elimination.

Limited respawns are available, with a free redeployment early in the match upon elimination. Squads can also redeploy teammates using field upgrades or respawn towers, similar to Fortnite.

Ripple Effect is leading the development of the alleged Battle Royale mode, while DICE focuses on the multiplayer component of Battlefield 6. The mode aims to differentiate itself from competitors like Warzone with features like the Oversight System and vehicle-focused gameplay.

Dataminer 'Temporyal' has been a key source, uncovering details and a brief introductory cutscene showing helicopters entering the battle, though the clip was removed due to a copyright claim. Leaked footage also highlights destructible environments and a modern setting.

Battlefield 6 Multiplayer will be revealed on July 29th, with the free-to-play Battle Royale mode expected to be announced around the same time. Current leaks suggest that BF6 will launch on October 10th, 2025 but this remains unconfirmed at this time.
