Battlefield 6 has started its first season and brought many new contents. One of these contents is the Battle Pass, and at first glance, it seems to be very fair compared to the competition.
Why is the Battle Pass fair? Once someone decides to purchase the Battle Pass in Battlefield 6, they only need to do it once during their entire playtime. The reason: A Battle Pass costs 1,100 Battlefield Coins (Price: €9.99), but those who manage to complete it will receive 1,100 points back.
This means that if you unlock the Battle Pass 100%, you always get back exactly the amount needed to buy the next Battle Pass. For many fans, this is a reason to celebrate, as other games in live service do not take this approach and still demand to pull out the credit card again after a few months despite being full-price titles to participate in the next season.
Battle Pass of Battlefield 6 respects your wallet
How does the Battle Pass differ from others? The Battle Pass of Battlefield 6 is clearly inspired by Call of Duty, as the competition also offers the same amount of CoD Points to acquire the next Pass. Additionally, there is a Pro variant similar to the BlackCell bundle from CoD, which also promises more goodies at a price of €24.99.
But generally, it can be said that this system is fair. Some games offer little to no premium currency and force customers, if they are interested, to additionally purchase a Battle Pass every time despite the price of their game. This includes games like Destiny 2, Overwatch 2, and Diablo 4.
Fortnite is more friendly when it comes to dealing with its consumers. The shooter gives you 1,500 V-Bucks in the Battle Pass, but only 1,000 are needed to acquire the next Battle Pass. Those who don’t want to spend any money still receive 300 V-Bucks on the Free Track, allowing them to afford a premium pass after 4 seasons without spending a cent.
Helldivers 2, on the other hand, presents the fairest system, as the premium currency can be obtained through missions. Battle Passes are thus completely free for those who are willing to grind. Furthermore, the passes have no time limitation – so anyone who buys them has all the time in the world to complete them. Thus, there is no FOMO.
Those who dare to navigate through the live service jungle will find many different models, all set up differently – some more and some less customer-friendly.
What do fans say about this? They believe it is another victory for Battlefield, as the game already costs money. BMXBikr, however, mentions on Reddit that one point is much more important to him than the price, and that is the avoidance of FOMO. He looks towards Helldivers 2 and wishes for permanent passes. Users like itsFauxProphete and MajesticRat agree with him, as this would make the practice of live service much more consumer-friendly.
However, a look at the Battle Pass makes it clear that these are unfortunately still only temporary. Season 1 is supposed to end in 82 days (as of October 29, 2025). It is quite possible that this will then go into the vault to make room for the new season.
If this happens, many fans will surely be upset and will speak out again, but until then there is still enough time. After all, Battlefield has released a new mode that sends you into a Battle Royale. Our shooter expert Dariusz has taken a look at it and drawn an initial conclusion: REDSEC shows me from the first round why millions of players love Battle Royale, but does not forget that it is still a Battlefield
