EA has announced that Battlefield 6 will hand fans a free play week of action-packed gameplay from March 17-24, 2026. During the all-out warfare event, players can access a special free trial and jump into frenetic REDSEC gameplay action. Combatants will be able to access four maps, “including the rocky European terrain of Contaminated and the depths of Hagental Base.”
A new event trailer has been released to give viewers a taste of what they can expect during the free play week. Take a peek at the maps and battle energy while the special demo is downloading.
Free Trial Playlists
- Nightfall
- Features Team Deathmatch, Squad Deathmatch, and Domination. In this specific playlist, the lights are out and the hunt is on, requiring squads to use Night Vision Goggles or attachments to see into – or light up – the dark.
- Features the new Hagental Base map
- All-Out Warfare
- Includes fan-favorite mode Conquest, the intense frontline battle of Breakthrough, and a mode introduced at Battlefield 6’s global launch: Escalation, a battle that escalates over time with redefined map boundaries and additional vehicles.
- This playlist features four maps: two from Season 2 – Contaminated and Hagental Base, to be released in the Nightfall update – as well as Eastwood from Season 1 and Mirak Valley from the game’s day one rotation
- Casual Breakthrough
- A more relaxed way to jump into Battlefield 6 while still earning progression and completing challenges, perfect for new players or those looking for a less intense experience compared to a full PvP playlist.
- Smaller player teams: 16 real players (8 per team) with 32 bot teammates/enemies (16 per team)
- Features three maps: Hagental Base, Contaminated, and Eastwood
