To keep players engaged, a small update will be released on January 20, which will add weekly challenges, a bonus path, and continuation for the battle pass, featuring new free and premium customization items, including a weapon set and an additional skin for the vehicle.

Battlefield 6 is available on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series.
