As Battlefield 6 continues to grow, we're making an update to how some previous Battle Pass content will return in future seasons.
We've heard from players who want more opportunities to earn or own cosmetics they may have missed, while also keeping each season exciting to participate in as it happens. With that in mind, starting in Season 4, we'll begin bringing back select items from previous Battle Passes as in-game store items and bundles.
Eligible items will return no sooner than three months after their original Battle Pass has ended. This gives players who participate during the season an initial period of time before select content may become available again.
Not all Battle Pass content will return: Battle Pass Instant Unlocks, BF Pro Instant Unlocks, and items from the Ultimate and Prestige Paths will remain exclusive to their original season and won't be made available again. Please note that the exact timing, availability, and selection of returning items may change over time and are not guaranteed.
Our goal is to ensure players who jump in each season receive the greatest experience from new content as it's released, while still giving others a chance to pick up cosmetics they may have missed later on. As Battlefield 6 evolves, we'll continue to review how previous content is made available and will make adjustments where it makes sense for both the game and our community.
Thank you for continuing to play Battlefield 6 and for being part of our community.
