- Battlefield 6 The first season has just been extended
- It will now end on February 17 with the arrival of season two.
- New free and premium content is added to help players
Developer Battlefield Studios has announced that Battlefield 6 Season 1 is extended following community feedback.
Season 1 will now run until the arrival of Season 2, which we now know will take place on February 17. To tide players over until the next season launches, a new Season 1 expansion update has been announced for January 20.
This will feature a series of fixes and updates intended to improve the experience of one of the best FPS games, with more details to be announced soon.
On January 27, players will be able to dive into a new Frostfire bonus path as part of the existing Season 1 battle pass, with all-new free and premium rewards for those who complete weekly challenges.
It can be completed simultaneously with the Season 1 battle pass, so you won’t have to worry about having to choose between getting this new content and clearing out anything you haven’t yet collected on the existing pass.
In a press release sent to TechRadar Gaming, the studio confirmed that “this revised launch has been implemented to allow more time to further develop and refine season two following community feedback.”
This follows a notable decline in PC player numbers since an incredibly strong launch period in October last year and the appearance of an apparent AI “slop” for sale in the game’s store. According to data available via SteamDB, the game has lost over 30% of its player base in the last 30 days alone.
We’ll have to wait and see if a more polished second season of live service content can help turn things around.
