Pokémon Legends Z-A DLC: Release date confirmed and what to expect
Though it feels like Pokémon Legends Z-A just launched – because it kind of has – that doesn't mean we have to wait very long for the Pokémon Legends Z-A Mega Dimension DLC release date, as it has just been confirmed! The announcement came with a new trailer that dives into more details of what to expect in the upcoming DLC. Be sure to check it out below. You can already access part of the DLC, as it comes in two parts: cosmetics and story content, with the former being available right now when you pre-order the Mega Dimension DLC. There's still a wee wait until the DLC, though, so be sure to peruse everything new with Pokémon Legends Z-A Ranked Battles Season 2 to help pass the time until then. And for those who have already ticked off their Legends Z-A Pokédex or got every Mega Evolution, then you'd better dust off that Master Ball, as the DLC is going to bring some new 'Mons to catch! But as for the Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension DLC release date, read on! When is the Pokémon Legends Z-A DLC release date? The Pokémon Legends Z-A DLC release date is 10th December 2025. This is something of a break from previous games, which typically saw their DLC receive a Spring launch, but hey, we're not complaining! The Mega Dimension DLC is currently available to order on the Nintendo eShop, and doing so will instantly get you Holo-X and Holo-Y Apparel Items. These can be worn throughout the base game, but the real draw of the DLC is the story content! View Green Video on the source website What to expect from the Pokémon Legends Z-A DLC View oEmbed on the source website We’ve already seen a glitzy trailer starring two Mega Evolution versions of Raichu, and as the name suggests, this DLC will be focused on Mega Evolutions, but the second trailer linked above goes into more detail. A "Mysterious Girl", Ansha, and their mysterious Hoopa Pokémon can transport players into an alternate dimension of Lumiose City called Hyperspace. The trailer description tells us, "Just when Team MZ’s efforts seem to have restored peace to Lumiose City, something strange begins to happen—mysterious distortions start forming all around town. You’ll also meet a mysterious young girl named Ansha, who is accompanied by the Mischief Pokémon, Hoopa." The trailer shows your trainer entering through these rifts, into different "pockets of Hyperspace". You can explore more as you help Ansha create more special doughnuts for Hoopa to eat. The Pokémon inhabiting Hyperspace are very strong too, with a level 164 Marohawk chasing the player at one point. There's also a new Trainer who will help you on your journey, Korrina, who is something of a Mega Evolution guru. On that, there are new Mega Evolutions to battle and for your Pokémon to evolve into, such as Mega Chimeco and Mega Baxcalibur. Raichu X and Raichu Y aside, dataminers have spotted references to new Mega evolutions for classic creatures like Wigglytuff, Golbat, Persian, and many, many more. Given how impressive some of the Pokémon mainline DLC updates have been in recent years, we’ve got high hopes for this one. At the time of writing, Pokémon Legends Z-A is sitting at a 77 rating on Metacritic.

Pokémon Legends Z-A Pokédex: Full list of Pokémon to catch
After an unbearable wait, Pokémon Legends: Z-A is finally here, along with its gargantuan Pokédex, and we've got the full list of Pokémon to catch in Pokémon Legends: Z-A so you don't miss out! Without getting ahead of ourselves, there are over 200 Pokémon to be found in Lumiose City, from some fearsome Legendary Pokémon, to humble starters, to veritable classics such as Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur and all Eevee evolutions. There are also a good number of Mega Evolutions, but these aren't included in this Pokédex. The number of Pokémon is set only to increase when the Legends Z-A DLC launches in 2026. If you want to have an easier time completing your Pokédex, be sure to check out how to get a Master Ball, as well as what goodies you can receive via Mystery Gift codes. You could always trade your way through the Pokédex with community codes or with a friend via multiplayer. Otherwise, you should get a good chunk of Pokémon by completing missions, if you're not still too busy customising your character, that is, or have been battling bugs that Game Freak identifies as "known issues". There's also the question of how many of us have traded cash for Pokémon Legends: Z-A, which you can find the answer to by checking out the game's sales figures. But that's quite enough from us. Read on for the full list of Pokémon in the Pokémon Legends: Z-A Pokédex! How many Pokémon are in Pokémon Legends Z-A? At the time of writing, there are 230 Pokémon in Pokémon Legends Z-A. The list ranges from Legendaries to classic starters and more, including a bunch of creatures that can Mega Evolve to boot.

Battlefield 6 Season 1: Launch date, start time and what to expect
There’s plenty more Battlefield to come.
Following a massive launch, Battlefield 6 has well and truly established itself as one of the biggest releases this year. And with Black Ops 7 still to arrive, the upcoming Battlefield 6 Season 1 is the perfect time for the game to really capitalise on that good start. Bringing a huge amount of content to the game, including the brand-new RedSec battle royale mode, it's the perfect time to drop into the game if you haven't already. So, without further ado, here's everything that's coming to Battlefield 6 in Season 1, as well as when it releases. Battlefield 6 Season 1 launch date and start time Battlefield 6 Season 1 will start on Tuesday 28th October at 3pm GMT. Here's how that translates into a few other time zones: US West Coast (PT) – 8am US Mountain (MT) – 9am US Central (CT) – 10am US East Coast (ET) – 11am Central Europe (CET) – 4pm Singapore (SGT) – 11pm Japan (JST) – 12am, 29th October Australia East Coast (AEDT) – 2am, 29th October New Zealand (NZDT) – 4am, 29th October What’s interesting is that Battlefield 6’s first season is split into three smaller chunks, with the first one, dubbed Rogue Ops, arriving on 28th October – just weeks after launch. That’ll be followed by California Resistance on 18th November and Winter Offensive on 9th December. Here’s what’s included in each. What to expect from Battlefield 6 Season 1 When Rogue Ops kicks off, this first chunk of Season 1 content will introduce a series of new weapons. The update will include the SOR-300SC Carbine, GGH-22 sidearm, and a Mini Scout sniper rifle, as well as a rail cover & LPVO (that’s Low Power Variable Optic, to you or I) attachment. The attachment will work nicely with rifles and LMGs. It’ll also introduce a new vehicle, with the Traverser Mark 2, which appears to be an armoured personnel carrier with a gun emplacement on top, as well as a new mode in Strikepoint. Strikepoint offers squad-based, single-life combat where teams try to capture an objective, but it’s likely that new map Blackwell Fields will be the headline addition. It supports all combat sizes, with land and air combat taking place across the California badlands. That sets the template for what to expect in both California Resistance and Winter Offensive, too. California Resistance will add a new map, Eastwood, on 18th November, with land and air combat around an affluent suburb and a golf course. The new mode this time around is Sabotage, which sees teams taking turns to try and destroy (or defend) more target sites than the other. The second update will also add the DB-12 shotgun, M327 Trait sidearm, the Slim Handstop attachment, and Battle Pickups – a returning feature which offers powerful, limited use weapons that can be found on a given map. Finally, Winter Offensive drops on 9th December, and will offer an icy version of the Empire State map, as well as an Ice Lock modifier to match and an Ice Climbing Axe as a melee weapon. Expect to learn more about the update as we get closer, with Season 2 presumably landing in early 2026. We'll keep bringing you all the latest Battlefield 6 intel as soon as we have it.

Alongside Mega Evolutions are Legendaries, which are unbelievably powerful in their own right, but one of them has a Mega Evolution, making it one of the strongest of Pokémon Legends Pokédex. We might get more Mega Evolutions when the Pokémon Legends Z-A DLC comes out, but for now, if you pre-order it, you can get some Mystery Code gifts.

Pokémon Legends Z-A Legendaries: Full list of Legendary Pokémon in the game
As the name would suggest, there are some pretty incredible Legendaries to be caught around Lumiose City in Pokémon Legends Z-A, and we've got a full list of them, so you know what you are up against. Legendaries are incredibly difficult to catch though, and sit atop the Pokémon Legends Z-A Pokédex alongside Mega Evoltuions as the toughest in the game, so you'll want all the help you can get when it comes to battling them. You can get some useful goodies by using Mystery Gift Codes, but you'll need to purchase the Mega Dimension DLC to get the most out of those. Alternatively, you can use a Master Ball, which has a 100 per cent guaranteed success rate to catch Pokémon, but it will take a bit of grinding to unlock. You'll no doubt need to whittle away through a good chunk of the Pokémon Legends Z-A missions before you're anywhere close to catching one, but if you're closer to that than which starter to choose, you've come to the right place! Of course, you may have a friend who has already caught an abundance, so you may be able to trade via Pokémon Legends Z-A multiplayer! But, as for what Legendaries there are, read on! How many legendaries are in Pokémon Legends Z-A? There are three Legendary Pokémon to be found in Pokémon Legends Z-A at launch. Rumours and 'leaks' have suggested there could be more to come, but only time will tell if those particular rumblings come true. Before we start, it’s worth mentioning that all of the Legendary Pokémon we’ve seen in the game so far are part of the post-game, so don’t expect to stumble upon them in any Wild Zones. Full list of Legendaries in Pokémon Legends Z-A The three legendaries in Pokémon Legends Z-A are Zygarde, Xerneas and Yvetal, which will make perfect sense to all you alphabet fans out there. Below we've got the details on how to catch 'em all. Zygarde (Level 84) Zygarde can be found in the post-game quest “To Keep the World in Balance”, and acts as a boss battle before you can capture it. Xerneas (Level 75) Found in a quest dubbed “The One That Gives”, Xerneas is found in Wild Zone 11 as part of the post-game. Yvetal (Level 75) Similarly to Xerneas, you’ll find Yvetal in Sector 2 during the post-game quest “The One That Takes”. As for other potential appearances, leaks have suggested Diancie, Hoopa, and Volcanion could pop up. Whether these are planned as part of the DLC it remains to be seen, but curiously Mewtwo is mentioned, too.

How to get all Eevee evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A explained
The long-awaited Pokémon Legends Z-A is here, and alongside some classic returning Gen 1 Pokémon, the ever-adorable Eevee is back. Unique among Pokémon for its evolution options, you can find Eevee and evolve it in multiple ways in Legends Z-A. Here’s how to catch an Eevee, and how to evolve it in your choice of Eevee-lution. Where to catch Eevee in Pokémon Legends Z-A Firstly, it’s worth mentioning that you'll need to catch Eevee (or a whole bunch of them) before you can start thinking about those beloved evolutions. Patience is key. Eevee can't be caught until relatively late in the game, and you’ll need to get multiple if you want to see all of its variations, since each evolution is mutually exclusive. Eevee can be found in Wild Zone 19, close to the end of the game. View Green Video on the source website How to get all Eevee evolutions in Pokémon Legends Z-A As for Eevee's evolutions, we’ve got you covered with all the key facts below on how to get them: Espeon: Evolve: Reach Level 25 with a high friendship rating during the daytime Catch: Unknown Flareon: Evolve: Use a Fire Stone on Eevee Catch: Appears in the post-game Glaceon: Evolve: Use an Ice Stone on Eevee Catch: Appears in the post-game Jolteon: Evolve: Use a Thunder Stone on Eevee Catch: Appears in the post-game Leafeon: Evolve: Use a Grass Stone on Eevee Catch: Appears in the post-game Sylveon: Evolve: Reach Level 25 with a Fairy-type move Catch: Unknown Umbreon: Evolve: Reach Level 25 with a high friendship rating during the nighttime Catch: Unknown Vaporeon: Evolve: Use a Water Stone on Eevee Catch: Appears in the post-game Read more on Pokémon: Best Pokémon gifts - the greatest merch Best Pokémon games on Switch - our ranking Best shiny Pokémon - the coolest creatures Best Dragon-type Pokémon - who's your fave?

Pokémon Legends Z-A multiplayer: How does it work?
Does Pokémon Legends Z-A continue the series’ rich history of offering multiplayer functionality? You've come to the right place to find out.

View Green Video on the source website How to unlock multiplayer in Pokémon Legends Z-A You’ll need to meet Mable, who will unlock the Rewards feature for you, in order to access Link Play in Pokémon Legends Z-A. This happens during one of the game's main missions, so you can't miss it! Nintendo’s support page estimates you can unlock it within an hour or two, which sounds about right. Once that’s done, press ‘X’ and then select ‘Link Play’. From here, there are a few options. How does multiplayer work in Pokémon Legends Z-A? Ranked Battles will see you face off against other Pokémon trainers in the world to try and climb the ranks to be the best (like no one ever was).

Pokémon Legends Z-A mission list: All chapters in the main story campaign
How many missions are in Pokémon Legends Z-A? Now the game has arrived, there’s plenty to see and do in Lumiose City. In fact, the game’s mission list reveals a sizeable adventure ahead, but there are some spoilers in the chapter titles, so we’d turn back if you want to be surprised. Here’s how many missions you can look forward to, and a full list of the main ones. Don’t forget there are side quests to complete, too! How many main missions are in Pokémon Legends Z-A? There are 37 missions in Pokémon Legends Z-A, with many of them revolving around Rogue Mega Pokémon in the game’s second half. Of course, climbing the ranks from Z to A is also a big part of the game's narrative. And that narrative will keep you busy for a decent amount of time.

How to get Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur in Pokémon Legends: Z-A explained
Hello, old friends. **CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR POKÉMON LEGENDS Z-A**
Pokémon Legends Z-A is bringing a whole host of Pokémon to Lumiose City for the series’ latest adventure, and while there are plenty of returning favourites, the Gen 1 starters still have our hearts. Charmander, Bulbasaur and Squirtle are all here, and you can get them early in the new RPG, albeit with the caveat that you can only pick one for the time being. Here’s how to find them, get one, and then get the rest later. And, needless to say, there’s a spoiler warning in effect here for Pokémon Legends Z-A. How to get Charmander, Squirtle or Bulbasaur in Pokémon Legends Z-A To find the familiar friends, you’ll need to complete research tasks for Mable and progress past the Lida battle (Main Mission 08). Once you've completed that Lida battle, go to any Pokémon Center and Mable will ask you to visit her office with the quest ‘A Call From Mable’. This quest will let you take your pick of the Kanto starters! At this point, though, just like in the original Red and Blue games, you can only pick one of the trio. Squirtle Squad, here we go! View Green Video on the source website How to get Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur While it’s lovely of Mable to give you one of the Gen 1 starters, you’ll no doubt want the other two – especially since their Mega Evolution forms are back in Legends Z-A. Thankfully, you can catch them all, but you’ll need to finish the game first. Doing so will unlock a final Wild Zone, which has access to the remaining two for your collection.

Pokémon Legends Z-A starters: Which one should you pick?
The age-old dilemma – Fire, Grass or Water?
Pokémon Legends Z-A marks a new chapter for the long-running, critter-catching RPG phenomenon, and while leaks have suggested Gen 10 isn’t too far behind, we’re excited to head to Lumiose City. While it’s a new adventure, it’s not a new generation, so we get three starter choices from earlier generations to choose from in Chikorita, Tepig and Totodile. Which one should you pick? We’re so glad you asked – here’s the lowdown on each. Who are the Pokémon Legends Z-A starters? The Pokémon Legends Z-A starters are Chikorita, Tepig and Totodile. As is tradition, these three starters fall into Grass, Fire and Water types. Chikorita is the Grass one, Tepig is the Fire one, and Totodile is the Water one, if that wasn't immediately obvious! So, which one should you choose? Keep on reading and we'll share our pick! View Green Video on the source website Which Pokémon should you pick as your starter? While you’ll no doubt have a type preference that might have you stick steadfast to Fire, Grass or Water-type starters, the fact that these are all returning Pokémon means you can lean on nostalgia, too. For me, I’ll be going for Totodile, since he was my starter in Johto back in 1999 (I’m turning to dust). But consider the evolution pathway, too. You might not be overly excited by Chikorita, for example, but we all know that Meganium will wreck shop in the late game. To help you make your decision, we've got some more details for you below on each of the Pokémon Legends Z-A starters. Chikorita Type: Grass Weakness: Fire, Ice, Poison, Bug, Flying Super Effective Against: Water, Rock, Ground First Appearance: Gen 2 (Gold and Silver) One of two Pokémon that debuted in the Johto region as starters, which are back to help you kickstart your adventure this time around, Chikorita is an adorable choice. The Pokémon that will eventually become Bayleef (at level 16) and then Meganium (at level 32) is docile but can pack a punch with Grass-type moves, but it’s naturally weak against Tepig as a Fire type. Tepig Type: Fire Weakness: Water, Rock, Ground Super Effective Against: Grass, Bug, Ice, Steel First Appearance: Gen 5 (Black and White 2) First appearing in Gen 5, Tepig is another sweet Pokémon, but eventually evolves into Pignite (at level 17) and the fearsome Emboar (at level 36). It’s a solid starter, but you’ll struggle against Water types as you can probably imagine. Totodile Type: Water Weakness: Grass, Electric Super Effective Against: Fire, Rock, Ground First Appearance: Gen 2 (Gold and Silver) Another Johto starter back for a second run, Totodile is the cutest crocodile you've ever seen. It evolves into Croconaw (at level 18) and then Feraligatr (at level 30), and while Grass type is a weakness, it’s most fearful of Electric types. The choice, as they say, is yours. What will it be? Whichever way you go, we hope you have a great time with the game!

Is Battlefield 6 on EA Play Pro? Cheapest ways to play explained
Is Battlefield 6 on EA Play Pro? What about PS Plus or Xbox Game Pass? If you're looking for a cheap way to play, we've got you covered. Now that Battlefield 6 has arrived, multiplayer shooter fans are living the dream with its huge maps, but if you’re on the fence, then that sticker price of £60 could be hard to swallow - and that’s just for the standard edition. While gaming subscription services are nothing new, it's never easy to work out from afar which games are going to drop on which platforms at launch. Allow us to explain! Is Battlefield 6 on EA Play Pro? Yes, Battlefield 6 is available now on EA Play Pro. If you subscribe to that 'pro' tier of EA Play, you can get the Phantom Edition of Battlefield 6 as part of your subscription at no added cost. EA Play offers a sizeable library of games for £5.99 per month or £35.99 per year, including recent EA FC titles, but you won’t get the newest games unless you subscribe to the Pro tier. The Pro level is £16.99 per month or £109.99 per year, and includes premium versions of all new EA games as they’re released. That means you get this year’s EA FC 26, Battlefield 6, and anything else that catches your eye as long as you’re subscribed. Is Battlefield 6 on Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus? No, Battlefield 6 is not on Xbox Game Pass or PS Plus. We have mixed news for anyone hoping the game will arrive soon on PlayStation Plus or Xbox Game Pass. While Battlefield 2042 has appeared on both, the tepid critical response to that entry no doubt meant it arrived on each a little sooner than Battlefield 6. By comparison, Battlefield 6 seems to be a big success, which could slow its arrival on any other money-saving platforms. Cheapest places to buy Battlefield 6 At the time of writing, the cheapest place to buy the game is CDKeys (which has now rebranded as Loaded). The online code store has the Xbox Series X/S version at £49.99, or the PC version (via EA’s app) for £54.99. As for physical copies, <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Battlefield-Standard-PS5-VideoGame-English/dp/B0FJXWB78M/ref=sr_1_1?crid=HA0VD8V78OX3&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.WjKDSigalonIyWXr1IjhlxgpImhzW14y_kSLaHhnIVKk_8bh6J36_KGRxE4-_QNb_sNSVykNBbv2LT79Shs_nSvX-5xF6M5SGf8fqsPbCWr45VvKO1EE8jim4oWzrd4sfW_Cp8BYCLEszDqT5wyL05Ph_n4n3rucEoYfmwjDiximc15L8OHdTLs-HvDaOKICkpg-khUSshPEUu5LA0SL_Q9gbgZnDVGR1fGo0L4b4gE.MigXOAr44a33ioZNNTk02clyPianwwqWVRZe2YcANCM&dib_tag=se&keywords=battlefield+6&qid=1760527967&sprefix=battlefield+%2Caps%2C92&sr=8-1&tag=radtim0b-21&ascsubtag=radiotimes-2337732" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">you can get it on PS5 from Amazon at £58.99 with a 16% discount right now. For more on EA’s latest shooter, be sure to check out the current state of its post-launch roadmap, and everything planned for Season 1. View Green Video on the source website In our review, Alex Raisbeck awarded the game four stars and noted: “My greatest issue with my time reviewing Battlefield 6 has been that, after having so much fun with friends during the beta, I have had to enjoy the last few weeks without them – you can't get much higher praise for an online multiplayer title. “I'm not sure that Battlefield 6 lives up to the lofty heights of BF3 and 4, but whether that is nostalgia talking, who knows? “What I do know is that Battlefield 6 is certainly an excellent entry in the series, righting the wrongs of 2042 and setting the series back on the right path. “Maybe one day we'll get our Levolution back, but for now, I think fans of the series should look forward to this one very much.” Check out more of our Gaming coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

What is Bloom in Battlefield 6, and how can you avoid it?
Battlefield 6 is one of 2025’s biggest gaming launches so far, but if you’re coming to the franchise a little later, then you may be wondering what 'Bloom' is. It’s a mechanic that’s been in the series since Battlefield 3 back in 2011, and essentially works to make Battlefield more realistic than some of its contemporaries. Here’s what bloom is, in the context of Battlefield 6, and what you can do to reduce it when you’re playing. What is Bloom in Battlefield 6? If you’ve fired a weapon in Battlefield 6, you’ll note that the longer you hold the trigger, the wider the spread of bullets goes. That’s bloom – the way in which your weapon gets less accurate the longer it’s fired, even if you’re aiming down the sights while firing. Bloom affects every single weapon, from sidearms to sniper rifles, and gets worse if you’re moving quickly or sliding. How to avoid Bloom in Battlefield 6 explained Bloom isn’t going away, but you can manage it by trying to fire in shorter bursts. Doing so will keep shots fairly central, and you can improve your accuracy further by staying still – whether that’s standing or crouching. Some weapons offer attachments, too, that will help your weapon reduce bloom while in use, particularly fully automatic ones. These don’t remove bloom, but they do make it more manageable. For more on EA’s latest shooter, be sure to check out the latest on the game’s player count, the current state of its post-launch roadmap, and everything planned for Season 1. In RadioTimes.com's review, Alex Raisbeck awarded the game four stars and noted that: "My greatest issue with my time reviewing Battlefield 6 has been that, after having so much fun with friends during the beta, I have had to enjoy the last few weeks without them – you can't get much higher praise for an online multiplayer title.” “I'm not sure that Battlefield 6 lives up to the lofty heights of BF3 and 4, but whether that is nostalgia talking, who knows?” “What I do know is that Battlefield 6 is certainly an excellent entry in the series, righting the wrongs of 2042 and setting the series back on the right path.” “Maybe one day we'll get our Levolution back, but for now, I think fans of the series should look forward to this one very much.” View Green Video on the source website Check out more of our Gaming coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

Battlefield 6 player count: Sales numbers and Steam Charts explained
It’s been a huge launch for the latest in the long-running shooter franchise.
While Battlefield 2042 never really lived up to its promise, Battlefield 6 has been off to a flyer right out of the gate, blowing away all previous entries in the series. From day one, it's racked up some phenomenal player numbers, and EA and DICE will be hoping that it can keep that momentum going throughout Season 1. But how popular has it been, exactly? Read on for a look at the sales figures and Steam charts to find out. How are the Battlefield 6 sales numbers? While EA hasn’t revealed any sales numbers at the time of writing, expert analysis suggests Battlefield 6 is off to a flying start. Analyst Rhys Elliott of Alinea Analytics revealed via his newsletter (thanks, Gamespot) that the game pre-sold 1.8 million copies on Steam alone, bringing in more than $100 million in revenue. "All signs, at least pre-launch, suggest Battlefield is back in the fight. Our estimates reflect a perfect storm of pent-up demand after years of missteps and a huge potential comeback narrative," Elliott explained. Will it outsell Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, which launches next month? It’s hard to say, but it seems Battlefield is back with a building-shattering bang. How are the Battlefield 6 Steam Chart numbers? We do have some data to go off of thanks to Valve’s Steam platform for PC gamers and sites like Steam Charts by SteamDB. The game is top of the most-played games list at the time of writing, with over 230k people playing on the Monday after release. Its peak, however, is a whopping 747,440 players, hit on the day it came out. That last figure puts it in 14th, behind free-to-play launches like Counter-Strike 2 and Lost Ark, but ahead of Call of Duty’s highest number and even Hollow Knight: Silksong. It also beats out popular shooter debuts like Marvel Rivals and EA’s own Apex Legends, although the latter came to Steam some time after its EA launcher debut. In fact, Battlefield 6 is now the EA game with the highest ever concurrent player count, beating Apex Legends into second place with only 624,473 players at its peak, with its own Open Beta taking third place. For its 24-hour peak, however, Battlefield 6 is fourth in the all-time standings behind Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2 and PUBG Battlegrounds – and it’s not far off that third-placed spot. View Green Video on the source website What is the Battlefield 6 player count peak? All of this is healthy indeed, but it doesn’t factor in other avenues players can use to play EA’s blockbuster shooter. For one, we don’t have sales figures for PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X and S consoles, where it’s likely to be very popular (the game isn’t launching on Nintendo Switch 2). Then there are other launchers on PC - the game is available on the Epic Games Store, but EA also has it on its own storefront. The latter also offers the Phantom Edition for EA Play Pro members as part of their monthly subscription, potentially bringing in more comrades in arms. We’ll be sure to report back if EA starts to talk about player numbers, but for now, things are looking pretty rosy for the resurgent Battlefield franchise.

Will Forza Horizon 6 come to PS5? What the developers have said
One of the most exciting announcements at Tokyo Game Show this year was that Forza Horizon 6, the latest in Microsoft’s critically acclaimed open-world racing series, would be heading to Japan. We didn’t get a whole lot of information about the project, with only a short teaser cinematic so far, but given that Forza Horizon 5 is almost four years old, it’s exciting to see what’s next for the franchise. Still, with Xbox leaning heavily into a multiplatform strategy, will the game come to PS5? Here’s all we know so far. Will Forza Horizon 6 come to PS5? Yes, the developers have confirmed that Forza Horizon 5 will come to PS5. However, there's a catch — Xbox and PC players will get to jump into the game first, but PlayStation 5 players will have to wait longer. “Forza Horizon 6 will launch first on Xbox consoles and PC in 2026,” an official Xbox Wire blog post explains. “With the excitement for this franchise on other platforms, Playground Games and Turn 10 Studios are also working together to bring Forza Horizon 6 to PlayStation 5 post-launch.” When will Forza Horizon 6 come to PS5? Our speculation Exactly when Forza Horizon 6 will come to PS5 remains to be seen. If we had to guess, we'd speculate that it could be around four months after the Xbox/PC launch. For context, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle launched on Xbox and PC on 9th December 2024. It eventually came to Xbox on 17th April. So, we know that a PS5 port of an Xbox 'exclusive' is doable within about four months. That being said, Forza Horizon is an online series (as opposed to the single-player fare of Indiana Jones), which could make it a bit of a longer and more complicated process. As and when a Forza Horizon 6 PS5 release date is confirmed, we'll be sure to update this page. View Green Video on the source website As for Forza Horizon 6’s move to Japan, it sounds like it’s been top of fan demands for years. “For a long time, Japan has been top of Horizon fans’ wish lists, so we’re excited to finally be bringing this much-requested location to players in Forza Horizon 6,” Don Arceta, Art Director explains in the Xbox Wire blog post. “Japan has such a unique culture – from cars, to music, to fashion – that make it perfect for the next Horizon setting. As with any Horizon title, we want to make sure we do the country justice in terms of authentic representation and Horizon open world playability – and now is the right time to realise that fully for players.” “The beauty of Horizon games is that each one gives us learnings and ways to make the next even bigger and better,” he adds. “As well as taking player feedback into account, we’ve also been able to lean into more practical things – for instance, the Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels DLC has helped us develop the elevated roads of Tokyo City in FH6.” Count us in when the time comes.

Battlefield 6 'Repair Vehicle' or 'Heal Teammate' challenges not working? You're not alone
Trying to complete those 'Repair Vehicle' and 'Heal Teammate' challenges in Battlefield 6? You may have run into a bug, friendo. Yep, you read that right. If you’re wondering why you’re not getting to complete those in-game challenges, you may have been hit by a common problem. The bad news is that several challenges aren’t progressing when they should be, but there is some good news in that Battlefield Studios is aware and working on it. Battlefield 6’s 'Repair Vehicle' and 'Heal Teammate’ challenges are bugged One of the biggest early complaints about Battlefield 6 is that its multiplayer progression feels a little bit too grindy. As it turns out, some of the pain points may have been caused by a bug that’s causing challenge progress not to track. For example, the ‘Repair Vehicles’ and ‘Heal Teammates’ challenges are flat-out broken right now. PCGamer has suggested restarting the game can alleviate some issues, but you can always try various XP farm experiences in Portal if you want to level up more quickly. Thankfully, EA is aware of the issue, posting on its forums about known issues. The following are mentioned by name: Challenges: “Resupply teammates with the Supply Pouch” is not tracking progress. Challenges: The Progress bar for “Repair Vehicles” does not update when repairs are made. Challenges: “Use Vehicle Supply Crate” does not progress even after completing the action. That suggests the team is already working on them, but there’s another issue too – some challenge descriptions are, sadly, just incorrect. “Challenges: The Weapon Expert Unit Challenge is not tracking correctly,” the known issues page says. “The description says you must 'Get a kill with each type of weapon in a match,' but the actual requirement is to get 15 longshot kills in a single match.” Other issues include helicopters being counted as ground vehicles for the “Land Vehicle Expert” (now very expert-like, one could say), and they’re also not counted in Vehicle Challenge 1. Our advice would be to just wait it out until these teething issues are sorted. The fact that these are listed as known issues likely means they’ll be fixed in a patch or two. In our review, RadioTimes.com awarded the game four stars and noted that: “My greatest issue with my time reviewing Battlefield 6 has been that, after having so much fun with friends during the beta, I have had to enjoy the last few weeks without them – you can't get much higher praise for an online multiplayer title.” “I'm not sure that Battlefield 6 lives up to the lofty heights of BF3 and 4, but whether that is nostalgia talking, who knows?” “What I do know is that Battlefield 6 is certainly an excellent entry in the series, righting the wrongs of 2042 and setting the series back on the right path.” “Maybe one day we'll get our Levolution back, but for now, I think fans of the series should look forward to this one very much."

Battlefield 6 maps: Full list of maps in the game
EA's Battlefield 6 is finally here, and while its roster of maps is smaller than some of its shooter rivals, there’s no arguing with the scale on offer. The shooter franchise encompasses land and air combat, and each of its, ahem, battlefields is packed with destructible environments and potential for moments you simply won’t find in any other shooter. Here’s a full list of the maps in Battlefield 6, as well as all the DLC ones being added throughout the game’s first season of post-launch content. How many maps are in Battlefield 6? At launch, there are nine maps in Battlefield 6, but that doesn’t tell the whole story. Depending on your chosen mode, you might fight in a smaller section of one map, or across the entire thing, and the maps themselves will change throughout a battle. Of course, more maps will follow in future (more on that in a moment). For now, though, read on for the full list! View Green Video on the source website All Battlefield 6 maps so far Here’s the full list, including the global location of each. Empire State Set in New York, the tight streets of Brooklyn make this map infantry-only but with plenty of verticality across rooftops and buildings. Manhattan Bridge Another map in New York, this one allows vehicles like tanks, and even helicopters for air support. New Sobek City The first of two maps in Egypt, this one on the outskirts of Cairo packs everything you could want from a Battlefield map, with sniper spots, helicopters, tanks, and plenty of opportunities for heroism. Siege of Cairo With more densely packed city streets and a focus on infantry and tanks, Siege of Cairo is an early favourite for players looking to exercise the tactical part of their brains. Iberian Offensive The first of two maps in Gibraltar, which plays a big part in the campaign, Iberian Offensive sees infantry and tanks take centre stage. Saints Quarter Infantry-only and full of sniper spots and tight city streets, Saints Quarter is also set in Gibraltar and is ideal for racking up close-quarters kills. Liberation Peak This mountainous map has more open sight lines, but with plenty of hiding spots for cunning ambushes. Mirak Valley Set in Tajikistan, Mirak Valley is the largest map in the game so far and gives you access to fighter jets, helicopters, tanks, and more. Operation Firestorm This classic from Battlefield 3 has never looked better, and lets you use every vehicle type in the game to capture key points of the refinery. All confirmed Battlefield 6 DLC maps to come Battlefield 6’s first season of post-launch content is split into three chunks, with the first arriving a matter of weeks after launch. Dubbed Rogue Ops, it’ll introduce the Blackwell Fields map set in the California badlands. California Resistance, the second update, will introduce Eastwood, a suburban map with a huge golf course. Winter Offensive, which arrives in December, won’t add a new map but will bring an icy revamp to Empire State.

What's the best assault rifle in Battlefield 6?
Battlefield 6 features a whole host of weapons to choose from, but the Assault rifle is as good a place as any to start - particularly if you're playing the Assault class (it's right there in the name). These offer decent stopping power across short to mid-range, an array of attachments, and a decently-sized magazine, making them a great jack-of-all-trades. We're still in the early stages of Battlefield 6's life cycle, but here are our picks for the best assault rifles in the game right now - including one you can unlock very early. The best early-game assault rifle in Battlefield 6 If you’re worried about needing to spend a long, long time to unlock great weapons in Battlefield 6, fear not. The M4A1 Carbine is unlocked at level 2, and it’s got a 900RPM firing rate paired with decent recoil so long as you keep to firing in bursts. It really is just a solid platform to build from as you start your Battlefield career, and you can reasonably expect to perform pretty well up to medium range (we’d advise not going head-to-head with a sniper). And yes, technically it’s a carbine, but it performs essentially as an assault rifle would. The best overall assault rifle in Battlefield 6 The NVO-228E is pound-for-pound the best assault rifle in Battlefield 6 right now, but it’s still early days so expect things to change if we get a balance patch anytime soon. For now, though, it offers high damage per round, decent recoil, and a 30-round magazine for peppering with suppressing fire and maybe getting some important headshots at a decent range, too. You’ll need to unlock it by completing the Rapid Fire 2 challenge. This involves getting 300 kills with the Kord 6P67 or B36A4 and 100 kills over 50m while aiming down sights with assault rifles. It’s worth the effort, though.

What is the Battlefield 6 Range Finder and how to unlock it
Many of Battlefield 6's huge maps can be a sniper's paradise, particularly if you're using one of our picks for the best meta weapons. Still, one addition you may have overlooked (or be trying to add to your arsenal) is the Range Finder attachment. Here's what it does, and how you can get it so you don't miss those all-important shots. What is the Range Finder in Battlefield 6? The Range Finder is an attachment in Battlefield 6 which is solely for the M2010 ESR – the first sniper rifle you unlock in the game and our pick for one of the best meta weapons. Essentially, the Range Finder helps you ascertain how far you are from a target, calibrating your crosshair to be able to fire more efficiently. With the Range Finder equipped, you’ll need to press down on the D-pad or hold B on PC to calibrate your scope. How to unlock the Range Finder In order to unlock the Range Finder, you’ll need to level up your mastery with the M2010 ESR to Rank 4, and spend 10 Attachment points. Doing so will add it to your available attachment options, letting you make use of what could be one of the more meta-friendly attachment picks. Can you snipe without the Range Finder? While the Range Finder definitely makes things easier, you can also use the in-game ping system to identify the distance from your target, while also highlighting them for your teammates. Once you’ve done so, press the same input (B on PC or down on the D-pad) to adjust your sniper rifle’s zeroing distance. It’s not as quick as using the Range Finder, but it’ll do until you unlock it.

One of the game’s most important tricks.
Battlefield 6 is all about teamwork, but if you’re wondering how you can see enemy positions that your teammates have marked, you’re not alone. Spotting is a core part of the Battlefield experience, and can be the difference between successfully capturing the objective or being flanked by enemies you didn’t see coming. Here’s how to spot enemies, and why it’s important to do so. How to spot enemies in Battlefield 6 Spotting enemies couldn’t be easier. By default, it’s mapped to L1/LB on console, or Q on PC, but you can also use the middle mouse button on the latter. In order to move it closer to the trigger, I’d recommend remapping it on console to swap with R1, moving grenades in the opposite direction. Once an enemy is spotted, you’ll see an icon appear over their head which will be visible not only in your line of sight, but your teammates’ too. They’ll even show up on the minimap, which is helpful. View Green Video on the source website Spotting tips I can’t stress this enough, but you really should be spotting every enemy you can, for two reasons. The first is that you’ll be helping out your team, identifying potential ambushes before they happen, and giving your squad key intel on enemy locations. The second is that, on a more selfish level, spotting can get you XP. It’s not a lot, but if that enemy is then eliminated by you or a teammate, you get some XP for the ‘assist’. Be careful to line things up carefully, however, as you don’t want to accidentally ping something in the distance when there are threats much closer. Finally, if you’re a Recon player, be sure to spot enemies while aiming down your scope. You’ll have a better view of their position than your teammates, and you can even lay down some suppressing fire so your squad can move in closer.

The best Battlefield 6 settings to change on PC and console
Battlefield 6 is a huge beast, packing a single-player campaign, huge multiplayer suite, and the Portal creation suite, and there’s plenty to see, do, and, of course, blow up. To make the whole experience more comfortable, there are some tweaks you can make to the in-game settings. Some will help you play better, others will just make the experience smoother. Here are the settings we’d recommend tweaking on Battlefield 6, wherever you’re playing. General settings The following will be useful on PC or console, so be sure your settings have the following: Global: Capture Area Outline - Keep this on; otherwise, you may accidentally step out of the capture area of an objective without realising it. Infantry Weapon/Vehicle Weapon Zoom - If you’d prefer to trigger ADS with a press rather than holding, you can change that here. Interact and Reload - Prioritise Reload on this setting means you won’t accidentally reach for a button when you need to reload. Infantry: Aim Sensitivity: As ever, aim sensitivity is down to personal preference, but consider adjusting this regularly after each match until you hit a sweet spot. Landing Roll: When your character drops, they’ll do a rolling animation before being ready to fire again. You can switch this off, but you’ll still need to wait to fire. Vehicles: Helicopter Control Assists: I’d recommend having this on for an easier ride with a helicopter. This means hovering is essentially automatic, preventing you from crashing with a squad on board. Console settings There are two main settings I’d tweak here. Field of View - Set this to around 100 to get a decent view of the battlefield. You can then adjust it as necessary. Button remapping - Set ‘Spot’ to a button that makes sense to you. I’ve gone for R1/RB, because you’ll want to spot as many enemies as you can, even if you’re opening fire as you do so. Crossplay - Want to avoid PC players? Switch this off and you’ll only be matched with players on the same console as you. PS5 Graphics Modes - Battlefield 6 runs at 60FPS and above in Fidelity and Performance modes. If your TV only supports 60Hz, consider using Fidelity for the extra detail, but Performance will get you more than 80FPS if your TV can handle it. PC settings World Motion Blur/Weapon Motion Blur - You can set these to zero to get a better look at just about everything. Chromatic Aberration/Vignette - These can be turned off to help with visibility.

Battlefield 6 Portal: Best creations and how to use them
Battlefield 6 has arrived, and while there’s a single-player campaign to tear through (with a star-studded cast) and a huge suite of multiplayer options, there’s also the endless potential of the Portal. The mode, making its return from Battlefield 2042, offers up user-created experiences you won’t find anywhere else, as well as opportunities to hone your skills before jumping into multiplayer. Here’s what the Portal is in Battlefield 6, and some of the best creations so far. What is the Portal in Battlefield 6? Put simply, Battlefield 6’s Portal is like a toybox of maps, tools, vehicles, weapons and more. Players can spend time creating bespoke creations to share with the community. These can even hand out XP, so you can work towards the game’s level cap. Best Portal creations We've split the list of the best creations up into sections so you can more easily find what you're looking for. Here are all of the best Portal creations in Battlefield 6: For farming XP Looking to get into the action quickly? There are some great Portal creations that help you rack up the kills. Shipment 24/7 is a remake of the classic close-quarters Call of Duty map that lets you get Match Completion XP. Use code YHAR to access it. If you want to progress more, some players have been having a lot of fun in Hardcore Conquest. It’s a more realistic version of the trademark Battlefield mode, with weapons doing more lethal damage, and a closed weapon set. Not only does it offer XP for just about anything, but it can also count towards daily missions and the like. It’s accessible with code X7SB. For learning the ropes Look, flying a jet in Battlefield 6 is hard at first. There’s a steep learning curve, and it’s all too common to find yourself hitting the ground before you’ve even had a chance to do, well, anything. Ace Pursuit (code X8XB) offers a race through a tight canyon that will help you improve your pilot skills, while Helicopters & Jets Practice (code 6GVY) is a great way to fly around a map. Both offer 150 per cent Match Completion bonuses. Other Fun Creations One user has put together a Star Destroyer from Star Wars, shaped using concrete blocks, but it’s not in the game yet. Still, there’s plenty of great stuff in there already. Exfil (Code X8XC) is an extraction shooter built within Portal that calls to mind 2042’s Hazard Zone. It’s been developed in-house to show off the power of Portal, too. On top of that, you’ll find classic FPS modes like Capture the Flag at your fingertips. Honestly, if Portal takes off with the community, Battlefield 6 could continue in perpetuity.

Occasionally, there are references to other titles, but Battlefield isn’t as serialised as, say, Call of Duty. Wondering about Bad Company and its sequel?
