What Went Wrong on Day One
The Steam Free Trial for Battlefield 6 did not work for all players on its first day. The developers have since fixed the underlying issue and have noted that players are already storming Area 51 and the Vegas Strip.
Battlefield 6 2x XP Weekend Also Extended
The Battlefield 6 2x XP weekend has also been extended to Tuesday. It is a good chance to level up your Career Rank and your weapons, and to unlock Battle Pass tiers more quickly.
How to Fix Missing Multiplayer Tiles on Steam
If you do not see the Multiplayer tiles in your Free Trial on Steam, this can affect players who have played REDSEC before or who were hit by the day-one problem. To start the Multiplayer file download, follow these steps:
- Close and restart Steam.
- Navigate to the Battlefield 6 store page on Steam.
- Click on “Play Game.” This allows the Multiplayer files required to jump into matches to download.
You can also check the files yourself. Open your game library, right-click Battlefield 6, and click on DLC. From there you can choose which files Steam downloads.
