Update []: More details about Sony’s marketing partnership with Battlefield 6 have started to emerge online, with various exclusive benefits for PS Plus subscribers announced.
As we reported earlier this week, those who party up with two or more paying members will be entitled to a 5% XP boost, but the collaboration doesn’t end there.
PlayStation.com reveals the full list of incentives for PS Plus members:
- Tier Skips
- Automatically unlock extra tiers when you purchase Battlefield Pro.
- Extended Access to 2XP Events
- Get extended access into select bonus XP events to boost your progression.
- Squad XP Boost
- Unlock an XP Boost for your whole squad when two or more players in the squad are on PlayStation.
Sony will be hoping that, at least among console owners, PS5 is considered the “best place to play” Battlefield 6. We’re confident that’ll be reflected in its sales results.
Original Story: Sony is all over Battlefield 6 now it no longer has dibs on Call of Duty. And once again, it’s offering incentives for players on its platform.
This is a pretty minor one so don’t get too excited just yet, but if you join a party with two or more PS Plus subscribers, you’ll be eligible 5% XP boost. You’ll also get a 5% XP boost for being in a party in the first place, totalling a 10% XP bonus.
PlayStation likes to offer these kinds of advantages to players on its platforms – especially when it’s the primary marketing partner for a game. As we noted earlier in the week, its branding is plastered all over many of Battlefield 6’s ads.
Of course, it probably wouldn’t be pushing the game this hard if Xbox hadn’t bought Activision, because historically it made these sorts of deals on Call of Duty. It’s going to be fascinating to see just how many players Battlefield 6 can steal from Black Ops 7 this year.
If you’re primarily interested in the game’s single player campaign, however, EA’s first-person shooter isn’t exactly off to the strongest start. We described it as serviceable in our Battlefield 6 review in progress, but we’re not particularly in love with it.
We’ll be updating our review early next week once we’ve seen how the public servers hold up. In the meantime, you can find out all of the game’s release times through here.
