Physical copies of Battlefield 6 are in people’s hands early, ahead of the official launch date of the 10th October. As such, it’s been revealed the physical PS5 version of the game is entirely contained on the disk itself. No download required.
This was stated by Reddit User Grecea_Vlad, who posted their early copy of Battlefield 6 online and answered a few questions from the community. They confirmed that no download was required to boot up Battlefield 6 days ahead of launch.
This makes Battlefield 6 a bit of an irregularity. Other large AAA games have required additional content downloads once a disc is inserted due to the hefty file size of these games. It’s also so these games can load faster, as it’s faster for a console to load files from its internal storage than from the inserted disc.
What this means for Battlefield 6 players who buy a physical version is you’ll simply be able to slap in your physical copy and get straight to playing, which is a bit of a rarity these days.
Other info was revealed about the game courtesy of Grecea’s early copy, including the online servers being up-and-running already. Apparently there are even a few people already online and playing, which is fun.
EA and Battlefield Studios recently revealed the post-launch content plan for Battlefield 6, which will start coming to the game on the 28th October. New modes, new maps, weapons and more will be added to the game entirely for free.
