Battlefield 6 debuted with a record number of players on Steam, leaving the competition far behind. Many fans are now looking for ways to play for less, avoiding the high launch price and taking advantage of the EA Play Pro subscription.
Success of the Battlefield 6 Launch on Steam
Battlefield 6 broke historic records right from the start – at its peak, over 740 thousand people were playing simultaneously on Steam alone, outperforming earlier series entries and other EA hits such as Apex Legends. The title almost immediately climbed into the top ranks of the most popular games on Valve’s platform, and interest keeps growing.
Among well-known people playing Battlefield 6 today is pool streamer and huge Gothic series fan Andrzej Śledź.
Where does such huge popularity come from?
- Polished gameplay, dynamic maps and a return to the series’ roots.
- Strong community support, mass broadcasts on Twitch and hype following a successful beta.
- Participation in the tests through subscriptions, which further expanded its reach.
How Much Does Battlefield 6 Cost? Purchase Options
The launch edition of Battlefield 6 costs 299.99 zł on PC, and up to 339 zł on consoles – a significant expense for many players. However, there are ways to play for much less.
Cheapest option: EA Play Pro
With the EA Play Pro subscription at 85 zł per month, you get full access to Battlefield 6 and other EA hits. It’s an ideal solution if you want to try the game for a few weeks without spending several hundred złoty on your own copy.
- EA Play Pro: 85 zł / month (PC)

| Version/access | Price | Platform | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 299.99 zł | PC | Steam, Origin |

Is EA Play Pro Worth Choosing?
An EA Play Pro subscription gives you the full game and access to all add-ons and seasonal rewards. After a month you can cancel if the game doesn’t meet your expectations or you’ve already finished the campaign – much like test-driving a new car before buying it. It’s a flexible option for people who enjoy variety and novelty.
