With that last Xbox tweet, we can be sure that Battlefield 6 is very near and actually, the gaming world is having a collective meltdown. With only a few days left for the launch, all the hype with no brakes is already going full throttle. Being the first Xbox message of the account with a link in tow gives everyone something to ponder on while coming up with hot takes and heaps of hype to feed a tiny country.
Firstly, the tweet is relatively straightforward but setting off wild chaos for the replies in the best kind of madness one can ever appreciate. You’ve got folks like JSeaward55 telling everyone to vibe with, “Friday cannot get here soon enough.” Andres Cardona responds with a simple, “Can’t wait!” Which is a sentiment shared by most of us. Now, there’s fighting about different consoles on which to play, on whether Game Pass is worth the purchase, and if Xbox is even relevant anymore?? The drama is real, people!
User FoxHitokiri mentioned it was already in the catalogue for “Clube1.000G,” which appears as a sort of achievement-hunting outfit? The tweet itself is in Portuguese but more or less confirms it’s coming to Game Pass, which is quite the news for subscribers. BastianRey32433, meanwhile, wonders about the existence of crossplay from one console to the other, which really is an excellent question yet to be answered.
However, there’s another whole conversation occurring about price hikes for Game Pass?? Like VRBreak, who says, “I still remember the Gamepass price situation,” and boringSideQuest complaining about Brazil’s 100% price hike yet never getting 1440p on xCloud. These are some pretty mixed emotions going on about Microsoft’s subscription service in these replies, which is… interesting timing, given we’re talking about a major game release.
And beyond that, it is when the real fights start. Dave1n1t starts breaking down math as to what console to play it on, talking about monthly costs and 4K capabilities like this is some sort of financial planning seminar instead of gaming hype. Then he is followed by Gamer4Lyfe92 stating very brutally, “Nobody is buying that shit on your dead console.” Ouch! SithfromHell then declares it to be “The better shooter,” and seriously? Given those previous Battlefield games, they might be right.
A little different thread there, where askamsky51 seems to be complaining about something about the game?? Multiple attempts are met by people telling them to play it if it looks fun or that nobody will miss them if they don’t buy it. At least, the drama is everywhere.
What really lands out there is one big conveyor belt of multiple conversations awkwardly occurring in parallel. There’s one group basking in excitement over the game, some people gnashing their teeth over consoles, another gaggle complaining about pricing, some others debating technical matters like the anti-cheat system?? CynicalReMind drops instructions for uninstalling “Javelin AC” services, which sounds terribly complicated. MinerofSaltt is referencing some sort of weird hate mace enema. Don’t even know, but it’s got to be energetic.
Though there are various segments of argument and bitching, the vibe is somewhat positive. Most actually look forward to the release of Battlefield 6, albeit arguing about which platform it’s playing on and whether Game Pass deserves being purchased for. That Game Pass for day one is a gamechanger for the subscribers; if only some could resist being salty about the recent price hikes.
What remains clear is that Battlefield is one of those franchises featuring which people enter into a conversation that is sort of an all-encompassing argument, either loving it or hating it or wanting to seriously talk about console specs real fast. The community is ready for whatever DICE is going to throw at us, even though we do not have any details so far. Days out of launch, it is just on the midline of breaking up.
Celebrating those reactions from civilization, Battlefield has always been about massive warfare and chaotic moments turning into gaming legends, and that’s pretty much what Battlefield 6 is set to do. No matter if it’s on Xbox, PlayStation, or PC; whether it’s bought or done through Game Pass; all that matters is that we’re getting an entirely new Battlefield experience, and that is definitely something to celebrate. The countdown has just been made official, and frankly? It can’t come soon enough!
