EA just cleared the air about Battlefield 6 pricing, and guess what? The standard edition will stay at $70, no $80 jump like some competitors. This matters because game prices have been creeping up lately, and fans were curious if EA would follow suit. CEO Andrew Wilson spilled the beans during their latest earnings call, putting to rest any worries about a price hike.
Wilson explained that EA already offers a wide range of pricing options, from free-to-play titles to deluxe editions, providing value to players across the board. So, no big changes to the base game’s price for now. It sounds like they want to keep things steady and accessible, which is kinda refreshing when you consider how some companies are pushing $80 for new releases.
Meanwhile, Xbox also recently backtracked on plans to raise prices for some of their upcoming first-party games, so maybe this is a sign the industry might not fully commit to those higher price points after all. But who knows? Will other publishers stick to this approach or eventually cave in? It’s a bit of a waiting game.
Of course, there’s still talk about a pricier “Phantom Edition” for Battlefield 6, but no official word on that yet. The multiplayer reveal is happening this week, and pre-order details should come along, so we’ll see what else EA has up their sleeve.
