Battlefield 6 live launch coverage: All the news, updates, and reactions as the most-anticipated FPS of the year goes live

Battlefield 6 is set to launch globally with confirmed release times: West Coast US at 8 am PDT, East Coast US at 11 am EDT, UK at 4 pm BST, Europe at 5 pm CEST, Australia at 2 am AEDT (October 11), and New Zealand at 4 am NZST (October 11). Players are advised to complete a readiness checklist before launch, including ensuring game pre-load is complete and system requirements are reviewed. EA has implemented a queue system to manage potential login issues at launch, similar to the beta phase. Early impressions of the game suggest strong multiplayer gameplay but a lackluster campaign. Performance analysis indicates Battlefield 6 is well-optimized. Some players are experiencing errors with the EA App that prevent access to the game, and EA is working on a resolution. The DRS-IAR LMG is highlighted as a versatile weapon for the Support class.

Battlefield 6 will NOT run unless Secure Boot is enabled in your BIOS

The Open Beta for Battlefield 6 has begun, requiring players to enable Secure Boot in their BIOS to launch the game. This is the first game to mandate Secure Boot for operation, which may surprise some players. Despite using UEFI, Secure Boot was initially disabled on one user's system, leading to confusion. After troubleshooting, including disabling CSM in the BIOS, the user successfully enabled Secure Boot and launched the game. Battlefield 6 will support AMD FSR 3, Intel XeSS 2.0, and NVIDIA DLSS 4, although the availability of FSR 3.1 and toggles for FSR 4.0 remains uncertain. Users with an RTX-50 series graphics card can utilize DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation.
