Battlefield 6 Season 2 Launch Postponed to February 17

Season 1 will receive an extension update on January 20

Responding to player critiques, EA in conjunction with Battlefield Studios, announced a delay in the launch of the second season for Battlefield 6. Originally set for January 20, the release date has now been pushed to February 17.

The delay by nearly a month comes with a silver lining, as the developers have decided to prolong Season 1 until the new season gets underway.

In an effort to refine the game based on player insights, EA proclaimed, "Our mission is to deliver a superior experience by extending the current season, allowing us more time to enhance and finalize Season 2."

While the game captured the attention of many upon its autumn debut, recording seven million sales in just three days, recent feedback on Steam highlights reasons for the delay. One notably critical review pointed out that the Battle Pass is described as 'overly aggressive in its monetization and induces excessive FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)' with limited actual content, making it more taxing than enjoyable.

To keep players engaged, the roadmap for the current season includes additional content. The Frostfire Bonus Path is set to offer new pathways for players to earn various free and premium customization options, including Weapon Packages, Soldier Skins, and XP Boosts, all accessible through level progression. This update is slated for release on January 20.
