Battlefield 6’s rollout on publisher Electronic Arts’ own PC app didn’t go exactly smoothly, with players left unable to play on launch day. Since then, the issue has since been resolved, and EA is giving out free season passes and XP boosts for those who were impacted.
The issue affected players who had pre-ordered Battlefield 6 via the EA App launcher on PC. An outage on the app left those players high and dry for a good chunk of launch day on October 10. To make things right, EA has issued 12 double hardware XP boosts and 12 double career XP boosts to players affected by the outage.
In addition, EA is throwing in a free premium battle pass for Battlefield 6’s upcoming Season 1. Those who already own the premium Season 1 battle pass through the game’s pricier Phantom Edition will instead receive the Season 2 battle pass for free.
It’s great to see that EA is acknowledging their customers and providing compensation for the preorder issues with Battlefield 6. It’s always encouraging when companies take responsibility and strive to make things right. Looking forward to seeing how the game evolves!
