IMO the GOTY edition is too expensive, but the base game is worth $28. Here's the recent "what do you think of the game" reddit posts that had a LOT of comments. https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefi..._thoughts/
ehhhh on steam there's 37,000 online right now with a 60k peak this weekend. it's averaging 20k to 40k overall though in the last month. it's more than COD (29k 24 hour peak) but less than overwatch at 61k (steam)
Battlefield 6 is being framed as a solid shooter at around $28, with the base game seen as worth that price and the new GOTY edition dismissed as mostly cosmetics rather than meaningful content. The game is also available through Game Pass, and a Steam free play window was noted for October 15 to 19. The main hesitation is value, with some holding out for a much lower price or a future PlayStation Plus drop. Content removal also stings, especially the loss of Squad Deathmatch.
Battlefield fans who want a large-scale shooter with hundreds of hours of playtime, because the base game is described as worth $28 and a strong FPS deal below $20.
PC players who already tuned their EA app setup, because the free-play window may not apply there and can disrupt an installed keybind and sensitivity setup.
Some shoppers are waiting for a sub-$10 price or a Black Friday sale, while others think $27.99 is already a good buy. If you already have Game Pass, waiting may make more sense because the game is included there now.
The base game is considered worth $27.99, especially compared with the newly announced GOTY edition, which is described as unnecessary cosmetics rather than real content. It's also a much better value if you want the core Battlefield experience without paying for extras.
A free-play window is reportedly running on Steam from Oct. 15 to 19. It may not apply to the EA Windows app version, which can be annoying if you already have that install set up.
Yes, Squad Deathmatch was removed, and that change is a dealbreaker for some players. If that mode matters to you, the current version may feel like it has less content than when it launched.

It's just cosmetics anyway, not any real content. "Too expensive" is besides the point. I would call it "unnecessary"
Seems like a great price but last year EA had a killer sale on BF games; got BF1 for $5. Wondering if I should hold out for upcoming black Friday or pull the trigger on this.
way too late at this price. this is now a sub $10 buy for me. I love battlefield but too many other games like delta force or wardogs starting at a cheaper price and doing more than waiting for a year to get here

I'd argue that anything below $20 is a phenomenal price for a masterpiece like BF1 that will easily give you back hundreds of hours of entertainment.
That said, BF1 has dipped down to $2 many many times. $5 is a great score regardless. One of the best deals in FPS gaming IMO.

yeah im waiting for $10. Heard it was overhyped and player count dipped drastically.

I think they are doing free play Oct 15-19 on Steam but not the EA windows app, which is annoying if you already used that version and have it installed with your keys/sensitivity set up.
