Battlefield 6 is leaving last-gen consoles in the past as the upcoming game will only be available for current-gen PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
The game will also launch on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
The platform confirmation came as part of the game’s first reveal on Thursday that included a trailer and details about the game. Wishlists for the game opened with only the aforementioned platforms available.
“Lock & load for the ultimate all-out warfare experience,” Battlefield 6’s description reads. “Fight in high-intensity infantry combat. Rip through the skies in aerial dogfights. Demolish your environment for a strategic advantage.
