In a new blog post, Battlefield Studios announced the delay of Battlefield 6‘s Season 2 due to community dissatisfaction and backlash regarding several aspects of the game, including monetization, maps, and insufficient post-launch content. As a result, Season 1, which was set to end on January 20, will be extended, and Season 2 will now launch on February 17. “During our ongoing development, we’ve continued to review community feedback and, in order to keep our promise, determined that our best path forward is to extend Season 1 and give ourselves extra time to further polish and refine Season 2,” the studio wrote in the community update blog post. Battlefield 6 launched on October 10 and is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Full Update:
“Thank you to the Battlefield community for your feedback and support since the launch of Battlefield 6 and our all-new free-to-play destination built on Battlefield’s iconic DNA, REDSEC. Last year, our franchise received an unprecedented amount of support: millions of players returned to Battlefield or joined us for the first time during the most successful launch in Battlefield history.
That launch included a commitment to providing monthly, content-rich updates for our players. After delivering a packed Season 1 in 2025, including the surprise launch of REDSEC, a battle on the homefront with California Resistance, the year-ending festive Winter Offensive event, and several patches, we head into the new year excited about what’s next.
During our ongoing development, we’ve continued to review community feedback and, in order to keep our promise, determined that our best path forward is to extend Season 1 and give ourselves extra time to further polish and refine Season 2.
Season 1 will be extended past its in-game end date of January 20, and we will launch Season 2 on February 17. The Season 1 extension update for Battlefield 6 and REDSEC will be released on January 20, which will include new weekly challenges, a Bonus Path, and a continuation of the Season 1 Battle Pass until the start of Season 2.
We are also reinforcing Battlefield Labs as the public preview for future game updates in the late stages of development. Both the Season 1 extension and the use of Battlefield Labs will set the foundation for new and exciting content throughout our live seasons, including what will come in Season 2.”
