Battlefield 6 Has Bad News for Some Console Users

Battlefield 6 brings some disappointing news for console users who own PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, as the official trailer appears to suggest that it will be exclusively released on current-generation consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, along with PC platforms such as Steam and the Epic Games Store. Despite the potential frustration for those without newer consoles, this means that Battlefield 6 won’t be limited by outdated hardware, which could lead to exceptional performance in areas where its predecessors fell short.

After prolonged periods of leaks and speculation, publisher EA officially unveiled Battlefield 6 to the public on July 24, showcasing an exhilarating first trailer filled with combat scenes, gun battles, explosions, and more. The trailer solely highlights the game’s single-player storyline, leaving multiplayer enthusiasts eagerly awaiting additional details until July 31. Although specifics about the multiplayer reveal are yet to be confirmed, whispers suggest that EA may hold a three-day event from July 29 to 31, offering developer insights and opportunities for content creators to experiment with Battlefield 6 during this timeframe. However, these details remain unconfirmed, and fans can look forward to another sneak peek at the upcoming Battlefield title next week.

It appears that gamers using the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will miss out on playing the new Battlefield series installment, as indicated by the recent announcement of Battlefield 6 and the option to pre-order it on various platforms like the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Steam, and Epic Games Store. The store pages for Battlefield 6 only mention current-generation consoles, such as the Xbox Series X/S, which seems to suggest that the game will not be playable on last-gen consoles.

Battlefield 6 Won’t Be On PS4 and Xbox One

Given the intense anticipation for Battlefield 6, there’s a high chance some fans might feel let down. Despite the fact that PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S have been out for almost five years, a significant number of gamers are still using PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This is why certain series haven’t transitioned from previous-generation consoles yet. For instance, there are whispers about Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 coming out this November, but its publisher, Activision, has confirmed that it will also launch on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This move has stirred up debate within the gaming community, as many suspect the aging hardware is hindering the franchise’s progress.

It appears that EA’s choice to concentrate exclusively on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC for Battlefield 6 hasn‘t dampened the enthusiasm about the game. In just an hour, its reveal trailer garnered more likes than Black Ops 7’s initial trailer, which dropped in June. Impressively, Battlefield 6 collected almost 200,000 likes within an hour, while Black Ops 7 has only gathered 140,000 likes after surpassing a month. Given their potential competition this year, Battlefield 6 seems to be making a promising debut.
