According to the infographic included above, shared by the official Battlefield X account, Battlefield 6 will have a simultaneous worldwide launch. This means that players around the world will all be able to start playing at the exact same moment, rather than having to wait for the clocks to strike midnight in their timezone.
This is usually the case for online games where access is reliant on servers being online and ready for players to connect to. The simultaneous launch also means that some regions will actually have to wait until late on Battlefield 6's official release date of October 10 or even the early hours of October 11 before they can start playing.
Does Battlefield 6 Have Early Access?
A lot of games have included early access in more expensive, deluxe editions. However, Battlefield 6 does not have any sort of early access period. As such, players will all need to wait until the release times on October 10/11 before they can dive into the destructive FPS action.
Can You Preload Battlefield 6?
Yes, Battlefield 6 can be preloaded as of the time you're reading this post. EA and DICE started the preload period for Battlefield 6 from October 3, giving players plenty of time to get the game installed on their PCs and consoles ahead of the official launch date. This is a huge boost to those with slower internet connections, given the hefty install sizes of games nowadays.
Unfortunately, Epic Games Store purchases cannot be preloaded. However, if you're playing on consoles or have purchased the game from other PC storefronts, you should be able to preload the game without a problem.
