Battlefield 6 Physical PS5 Copies Arriving Early — Full Game Confirmed on Disc

Written by

Some eager fans are already getting their hands on physical PS5 copies of Battlefield 6, just days ahead of its official release on October 10th — and there’s some encouraging news for collectors and disc-based players.

Unlike some recent major releases, the full version of Battlefield 6 is included on the disc, meaning players won’t need to download the entire 68GB game from scratch. Of course, a day-one patch is still expected, so a small update at launch will likely be necessary.

One notable detail on the box, however, is the fine print stating that a “persistent Internet connection [is] required to play.” Reports suggest the servers are already live, but this requirement means even the single-player campaign can’t be played offline, which will disappoint fans hoping for a true solo experience.

Still, having the full game pressed onto the disc is a welcome move — particularly for an online-focused title like Battlefield 6. It’s a sharp contrast to some recent physical releases, such as DOOM: The Dark Ages and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which shipped without the complete game content and relied heavily on downloads.

For those who value owning a tangible copy, this is a refreshing bit of good news — even if you’ll still need that internet connection to jump into the action.
