Xbox Game Pass is set to add Battlefield 6 and a Bluey game in the same week, according to Tasmania Talks. This pairing includes a 2026 shooter and a children’s licensed game, appealing to very different audiences with one subscription.
The reports, including one from Sea FM Devonport, only provide the headline. They don’t confirm specific dates, tiers, or the title of the Bluey game, so we’ll skip guessing.
The timing is crucial for EA. Our previous coverage highlighted that Battlefield 6 will hit Game Pass before the launch of rival MW4. Having this shooter available through subscription means players might jump in rather than wait for a sale.
Pricing is another important aspect. 7HOFM reports that Game Pass has become more affordable for Australians. However, the summary we got doesn’t include new prices or which tiers changed. Be sure to check Xbox’s official Australian pricing page before subscribing.
A note of caution regarding the data: the Steam listing linked to this story is labeled “Battlefield” and shows a developer name and a 1991 release date that don’t match Battlefield 6. So, treat the figures below as a snapshot of that listing, not as verified details about the new game.
| Steam reviews (matched “Battlefield” listing) | 44% positive |
| Total Steam reviews | 133,228 |
| Steam price | $59.99 |
| Current players (matched listing) | 1,136 |
| Community signals tracked | 10 (mostly positive) |
Community Pulse
Sentiment across the 10 tracked signals appears mostly positive, though the sample size is small. One reviewer on Steam summed it up well: “Still a very fun game!” This line popped up in several reviews, indicating a trend in the feedback, but it lacks detail on what players enjoy. The 44% positive score on the matched listing suggests otherwise, raising questions about the match.
What To Watch
- Official Game Pass dates and tiers: Find out which subscription levels will include Battlefield 6 and the Bluey title, along with the launch dates.
- Australian pricing details: Watch for the exact changes behind the report stating it’s now “more affordable.”
- Player counts after launch: Monitor Battlefield 6 activity before and after it joins Game Pass, especially once MW4 is released.
