EA currently has no plans to bring Battlefield 6 to Nintendo Switch 2.
Battlefield boss Vince Zampella told Eurogamer that EA “doesn’t currently” plan to bring the upcoming shooter to Nintendo’s new console.
Pressed as to why, Zampella said that — even though he’s a “huge Switch fan” — the focus was on PC and PlayStation and Xbox consoles because that’s where Battlefield fans primarily play.
First announced way back in 2021, Battlefield 6 finally launches on October 10. Unlike Battlefield 2042’s lukewarm reception, fans seem pretty pleased with what they’ve seen so far, and for quite some time, EA wasn’t even trying to take leaked assets down.
Most recently, we got a look at the shooter’s upcoming battle royale mode which, according to previous leaks, is set in California, with insertion via CH-47 Chinook. The destructive ring is apparently made out of a compound called “NXC.” Despite the rumors, however, Battlefield 6 won’t be $80.
“Battlefield 6 casts its eyes back to the series’ best years, mixing what we loved from the likes of Battlefield 3, and Battlefield 4, but is this resurrection of past glories actually exciting?” we asked in IGN’s Battlefield 6 preview.
“From resurrecting its core class structure of Assault, Support, Engineer, and Recon, to whether or not Battlefield’s staple game modes like 64-player Conquest are still just as fun as before.” Read on for more on why we think BF6 feels like a “safe, yet explosive return to the shooter’s past.”
Battlefield 6 is out on October 10 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X and S.
