Battlefield 6 brings a solid dose of modern warfare action, perfect for players who are over historical battles, sci-fi shootouts, or goofy skins. With the full game launching worldwide in just two days on October 10, 2025, you and your crew can gear up to take on enemies like OPFOR in epic multiplayer battles. Here's how to jump in together right from launch.

The open beta built massive hype, with over 250,000 players in server queues at peak times, and expectations are even higher for the full release. Servers are expected to handle the influx, but you might still face short waits during launch day rushes—perfect time to squad up and dominate from the start.

How to Team Up with Friends in Battlefield 6 Multiplayer

First, make sure your friends are added to your in-game friends list. For cross-play, link your EA account to your PlayStation, Xbox, or PC platform account so everyone shows up seamlessly. Note: PC players squad exclusively with other PC players, while console players can cross between PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

  • Head to MyAccount.ea.com
  • Go to Manage Linked Accounts
  • Pick the platform account you want to link and hit Continue
  • Type in your account password
  • Authorize Electronic Arts
  • Click Link Accounts

Once linked, launch the game, hit the Lobby button, and click one of the + buttons to access your friends list. Select a friend and send an invite. Squads support up to four players, and others can join mid-match (though they might start in a separate squad).

Tweak squad settings at the top of the Lobby screen: set to Invite Only for exclusivity or Joinable for openness. Choose your mode—whether Conquest, Breakthrough, or new launch playlists—start the match, and your squad stays together across rounds without splitting up. Get ready to drop in as a unit when Battlefield 6 goes live!
