Battlefield 6
1
If you’re looking for an excellent multiplayer shooter to play over the holidays, this is it, and it’s the best price we’re likely to get on it for a long while.
Snap it up ASAP, as I don’t see this deal lasting until the rest of Thanksgiving, let alone the Black Friday sales weekend. Sorry, Xbox fans, this is a PlayStation 5-only deal for now, as Battlefield 6 is still just under $60 for Xbox consoles. But, we’ll also keep an eye out for any changes.
Only releasing in October this year, Battlefield 6 has offered a true return to form for the long-running shooter franchise and has pretty much finally outdone Call of Duty at its own game, selling some almighty big numbers.
While we didn’t love the campaign, there’s no denying it’s a gorgeous-looking shooting gallery, but as with any Battlefield game, the real draw is multiplayer. Whether you’re looking for infantry combat, the opportunity to fly a jet or helicopter, or you just want to pile into a tank with your friends and bring down buildings, there’s something for everyone.
Reviewer Justin Koreis gave the multiplayer an 8 out of 10, saying, “Battlefield 6’s multiplayer action is expertly crafted, wrapped in a wonderful layer of destructibility that both looks great and materially affects the flow of combat. The gunplay is excellent, with weapons that are accurate enough to reward skilled shooting, but have just enough sway to promote a bit of careful thought while you take aim.”
Battlefield 6 is currently in the middle of its first season of post-launch content, including new maps and modes, while the RedSec Battle Royale mode is also available as a standalone free-to-play game. Given how successful the game has been for EA, you can likely expect new seasonal updates well into the future.
EA and Battlefield Studios have also recently launched the first Battlefield 6 free trial week, giving new players on PC, PS5 and Xbox the chance to try Season 1 multiplayer maps and modes from November 25, at 4 a.m. PT / 7 a.m. ET to December 2 at 4 a.m. PT / 7 a.m. ET.
Should You Wait for Black Friday on Nov. 28?
Not for deals like this. Black Friday might come with a few surprises of its own, but today, Battlefield 6 for just $35 is a Black Friday quality deal, and well worth snapping up before it goes out of stock.
Only Amazon has the deal right now, so if the deal gets nuked, then I’m afraid it’ll be Black Friday FOMO for you. Fingers crossed Walmart and Best Buy price match it soon. Apologies for the tough love, but if BF6 has been on your wishlist, this is the best possible deal we’re getting, and blows any other deals out of the water.
It’s such a good offer, it properly rivals my previous best PS5 game deal recommendation in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater for $30 at Amazon and Walmart. Just like BF6, that’s likely to sell out fast as well. Snag both as soon as you can, and have a great Thanksgiving.
