A datamine for Battlefield 6 has revealed that the highly anticipated Battle Royale is currently set to launch on October 28th, 2025. The strings of code which have been posted online refer to a mode codename “Granite”, which Insidier Gaming can verify is the Battle Royale gamemode.
First leaked by ModernWarzone, who revealed that the mode will have a October 28th release date, he took to X (formerly Twitter) today to reveal that code within the game files also now confirms his past reports.
In a follow-up tweet, he posted the strings of code revealing that Granite, the codename for the Battlefield 6 Battle Royale, is currently set to go live during the Season 1 release on October 28.
Of course, things are indeed subject to change, but ModernWarzone’s confidence, especially over the last couple of days around the date, tells us that he’s almost certainly not wrong. While Insider Gaming isn’t currently able to independently verify the news, it’s certainly looking like a shadowdrop of the mode is on the horizon.
Battlefield 6 Battle Royale Free to Play
Insider Gaming first exclusively reported on the Battlefield 6 Battle Royale in February 2024, which we reported at the time that it was planned to be a free-to-play experience. At the time of writing, Battlefield Studios has only confirmed the game mode’s existence and hasn’t said when it will release or whether it will be free-to-play.
That said, we likely don’t have long to wait before hearing more.

Played the beta of bf6 battle royal and found it a alienating experience. There is no sense of squad or team strategy. I was also shot out the sky whilst parachuting into the map on my one respawn… If BF6 launched a free to play that had the playability of multiplayer what would be the point of BF6 game and how would it attract new players.
