Battlefield 6 is set to release for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on October 10. It promises more of the large-scale warfare the series is known for, with infantry units fighting on the ground and vehicles covering large distances both on the ground and in the air. There’s also a focus on environmental destruction and four character classes to choose from.
Battlefield 6 will be available in two editions, both of which are available to preorder now (see it at Amazon). For full details about what comes in each edition, what preorder bonuses to expect, and more, read on.

Unlike many AAA games these days, the standard edition arrives the same day as the more expensive edition. The only difference is, it doesn’t have some of the in-game bonuses you’ll get if you pony up an extra $30 for the pricier edition. Despite rumors to the contrary, it does not seem like the game is making it to Switch 2.

The deluxe edition is called the Phantom Edition, and it comes with the game itself, plus the following extras:

What Is Battlefield 6?
Battlefield 6 is a first-person shooter that has a campaign, plus a number of multiplayer-focused modes, with maps set all over the globe and four classes to choose from.
