Battlefield 6 is set to launch its first free trial, kicking off just after the launch of its rival, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. This trial allows players to experience the game without any restrictions on level or XP, featuring three core maps—Siege of Cairo, Eastwood, and Blackwell Fields—and four game modes including Conquest, Breakthrough, Sabotage, and Team Deathmatch. However, the launch of the free trial coincided with a major matchmaking outage that affected core gameplay, though the spin-off, Battlefield Redsec, remains operational. The trial is available across all platforms from November 25 to December 2, 2025.

Battlefield 6 is the latest installment in the long-running series by EA and is designed to directly compete with the Call of Duty franchise. With intense multiplayer firefights and a focus on strategic team-based gameplay, Battlefield 6 aims to refine its formula while providing fresh content to engage both new players and veterans of the franchise. The recent rivalry between these two series has led to an increase in promotional strategies to attract players, such as this free trial initiative.

Timing your free trial to steal COD's thunder is a classic power move, but launching with matchmaking issues is such a Battlefield moment. Gotta respect the no-restrictions approach though - letting players go wild might just win back some goodwill.
Smart move dropping the trial right after COD's launch, though that matchmaking outage really undercuts the momentum. At least they're giving players the full experience with no restrictions - that's how you win over the fence-sitters.
