Just when the post-beta quiet had settled in, developer DICE and publisher EA dropped a new trailer on August 28 focused squarely on the PC experience for Battlefield 6, which launches worldwide on October 10, 2025. The release is a clear effort to win the confidence of the PC community, showcasing new content and platform-specific features that signal a renewed focus on technical excellence.
The trailer’s messaging is clear: Battlefield 6 is being built as a bespoke experience for PC, not just a simple console port. We’ve broken down every key reveal.

A Return to Classes & New Equipment
In a significant move away from the Specialist system of its predecessor, Battlefield 6 returns to the franchise’s four iconic classes, each with distinct gadgets and customization paths: Assault, Engineer, Support, and Recon.
The new PC trailer also officially confirmed the return of mortars for indirect fire support, adding to the arsenal of class-specific gadgets like the Assault’s grenade launcher.
A Renewed Focus on PC Features
The trailer’s primary goal was to showcase features specifically for the PC audience. This is a direct acknowledgment of the community’s long-standing grievances and a signal that their platform is a priority. Key features confirmed include:
- Next-Gen Tech: Full support for NVIDIA DLSS 4, AMD FSR 4, and Intel XeSS 2, ensuring broad hardware compatibility for performance-enhancing upscaling.
- Extensive Customization: The PC version will feature over 600 customization options, allowing players to fine-tune their experience.
- Javelin Anti-Cheat: The game will be protected by a proprietary, kernel-level anti-cheat system that requires Secure Boot on PC. The system reportedly blocked over 330,000 cheat attempts during the beta period.
