Battlefield 6’s Mysterious Premium Subscription Service

by

Summary

  • The next Battlefield game may feature a “Pro” subscription service, as discovered in a recent Battlefield Labs datamine.
  • Some of Battlefield Pro’s perks include the battle pass, exclusive cosmetics, XP boosts, tier skips, and persistent Battlefield Portal server hosting, and more.
  • Neither EA nor DICE have said anything about the next Battlefield game’s potential subscription model, but fans are worried about it paywalling non-cosmetic items.

It’s possible that data miners have uncovered a potential source of debate among fans for the upcoming Battlefield game. Allegedly, Electronic Arts (EA) and DICE are developing a special subscription service for Battlefield 6, which would encompass the first-person shooter’s battle pass and offer further advantages.

The idea of subscription services in the Battlefield series isn’t entirely novel, as it was initially introduced with Battlefield Premium in 2009’s Battlefield Heroes. This service provided advantages such as Experience Point (XP) boosts, an extra Daily Claw spin, access to the Premium store, and more for a one-time payment. Battlefield Premium was also featured in Battlefield 3 and subsequent games in the series up until Battlefield 2042 in 2021. Since Electronic Arts hasn’t yet fully revealed the next Battlefield game, fans have been speculating based on data mined from Battlefield Labs.

As an ardent fan, I’m thrilled about the recent MP1st report suggesting a potential new monetization system, titled Battlefield Pro, hinted in the Battlefield 6 files. This membership seems to offer a plethora of perks such as access to all battle pass content, instant unlocks exclusive to members, an XP boost, and a whopping 20 tier skips!

What piques my interest is the ability for subscribers to host persistent servers via Battlefield Portal. This indicates that the sandbox mode might make a comeback. The package also includes a bonus content path to be unlocked later in the season, exclusive “Pro Challenges” for rare cosmetics, and something enigmatic called the “Pro Radio Station.” The latter detail remains shrouded in mystery.

Every Datamined Battlefield Pro Membership Perk

  • Includes all battle pass perks and rewards
  • Instant access to six Battlefield Pro exclusive cosmetics
  • +10 percent Battle Pass XP
  • Battlefield Portal: Host a Persistent Server
  • 20 Tier Skips
  • Access to exclusive Bonus Path for extra exclusive content
  • Access to Battlefield Pro Challenges vault
  • Pro Radio Station

In the potential future installment of the Battlefield series, there might be a membership model similar to Battlefield Premium. This development coincides with a surge in live-service games employing subscription models, like GTA+ for Grand Theft Auto Online, Fortnite’s Crew, and Rainbow Six Siege’s R6 Membership. Maintaining persistent servers in the Battlefield Portal could be an exciting addition to the next Battlefield game, particularly appealing to players who are more creatively inclined or community-focused. However, it is important to note that this information is based on leaks and the final product may differ, or not materialize at all.

Despite this, the concept of Battlefield 6 adopting a subscription model has stirred passionate reactions from fans, who worry about DICE restricting non-cosmetic items to the Pro membership, a concern reminiscent of Battlefield Premium over a decade ago and one that persists today. Interestingly, recent leaks suggest the revival of the 3D spotting mechanic in the upcoming Battlefield game, causing division among fans as well. Here’s hoping EA and DICE consider fan feedback thoughtfully.
