More leaked Battlefield 6 battle royale gameplay footage appears to have made its way online.
Video of this early version of the upcoming battle royale mode poured onto X/Twitter overnight and seems to have been captured from recent BF Labs playtests hosted by the four-studio team at BF Studios. It’s a lengthy look that comes from user @BobNetworkUK, who reports that they have already managed to secure a new Labs account after their previous account was disabled by EA.

The main leaked Battlefield 6 gameplay making its way around social media is relatively straightforward and not unlike what we’ve seen in other, similar battle royale experiences like Warzone. The player can be seen running around a warehouse, dodging bullets from enemy players as they collect weapons, armor plates, and other tools from nearby loot chests.
Other clips have also spilled onto platforms like X, including footage of how things like upgrade kits and custom weapon drops work. It’s important to note that none of what we’ve seen so far is final.
Battlefield 6 itself still has a few weeks to go before its October 10 release date for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S arrives. BF Studios hasn’t officially announced when exactly the Battlefield 6 battle royale mode will launch, though ModernWarzone reported earlier this week that its sources expect its release date to be October 28, 2025.
EA and BF Studios are no strangers to leaks, especially when it comes to Battlefield 6. That’s mostly thanks to BF Labs, which has allowed a large number of players to experience in-development content as the developers look for fan feedback.
It’s a topic we made sure to ask Ripple Effect about when interviewing the team earlier this month. Most gamers have known that Battlefield 6 is under pressure to deliver for EA. BF Studios told us it knows next month’s new entry marks a particularly important moment for the long-running FPS franchise, too, which is why it doubled down on fan feedback – even if it means it’s sprung a few leaks along the way.
“I remember, at one point, making a big presentation that said, ‘What will leak? Everything.’ Like, we just started with that assumption that things would leak,” technical director Christian Buhl told us. “Now, to be clear, we didn’t want things to leak. We weren’t seeking leaks, but we knew that the most important thing was to get the game in front of players, get real feedback from players, get real telemetry, real data, and that had to come at any cost, including the fact that things would leak.”
