Battlefield 6, 2025's best-selling US game, has launched on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate alongside a new Game of the Year Edition, coinciding with the rollout of its Season 5 update. The move comes a year after the game's initial release and amid reports of declining player numbers following a strong launch. Alongside the Game Pass debut, developer Battlefield Studios introduced a $30 'Ultimate Shortcut Kit' microtransaction that instantly unlocks all guns across all four classes at 100% Mastery, drawing attention for its scale compared to past Battlefield shortcut offerings.
