Battlefield 6 is free to play on Steam until October 20. The offer arrives as the game's fifth season gets going. Season 5 launched on October 13 with new maps, six weapons, two vehicles and a faster battle royale mode called Rapid Royale.
Anyone who wants to keep playing can buy the Standard Edition for $27.99, down 60% from $69.99. The update also teases a Halloween event based on the Dead Space games.
π The Backstory
Battlefield is one of the biggest military shooter series, and Battlefield 6 is Electronic Arts' latest entry. Not all the news this season has been good. Players suspect some paid battle pass cosmetics were made with AI, pointing to a soldier carrying five identical pistols and a badge with a spelling mistake.
EA has not confirmed this. Sony Pictures has reportedly won the rights to make a Battlefield movie.
π― Why It Matters
A free trial lets players try a $70 game before buying it. It also shows how AI-made art is becoming a big argument in gaming.
