Battlefield 6 release time - here's when you'll be able to preload and play Battlefield 6 in your timezone

A soldier grips an assault rifle. Another can be seen behind him, wearing a helmet and binoculars.

Battlefield 6 launches later today (October 10), allowing players to jump into the new first-person shooter and play the new campaign. So far, it looks as though Battlefield 6 is a solid return to form, focusing on destruction and grounded warfare.

From what we've played so far, Battlefield 6 improves upon its predecessor in every way. In our Battlefield 6 review, we called its multiplayer "electric", praising the well-designed class system and variety of good maps. Looking ahead, it's clear that the major Battlefield 6 Season One update will add even more for players to enjoy, and it's very likely we'll be ranking the game highly on our best FPS games list by the end of 2025.

Here's the Battlefield 6 release time in your timezone. We'll detail the earliest you can play the game, as well as info on how preloading works on PC and consoles.
