Steam users of Battlefield 6 celebrate the absence of requirement for the EA App, as fans exclaim: "Victory upon victory!"
In the gaming world, the anticipation for Battlefield 6 continues to build, and a series of positive decisions regarding the game has left one Reddit user celebrating the upcoming release. As we approach the game's release date on October 10, potential players can look forward to multiple open beta sessions, allowing them to try the game before committing.
During a recent 4-hour multiplayer session and discussions with the creators of Battlefield 6, the author of this article compiled 10 key takeaways from the experience. One of the most noteworthy points is the distinction between the platforms for playing Battlefield 6.
Steam players will be able to launch the game natively through Steam without the need for the EA App, whereas Epic Games Store users must run the EA App to play the game. This difference has sparked a lively discussion among Reddit users, with some expressing appreciation for not needing another launcher for Battlefield 6, while others are celebrating the decision to not require the EA App for Steam players.
EA's official fact sheet clarifies this distinction: "Steam players will not need to use the EA App to play Battlefield 6 but will need an EA account. Those who purchased Battlefield 6 via the Epic Games Store will need the EA App and an EA account to play." The reasoning given by EA is that the EA App helps track player progress and share stats, though no further detailed explanation has been provided.
This means that for players preferring a more streamlined experience, purchasing Battlefield 6 on Steam avoids the requirement to use the EA App. However, Epic Games Store users must contend with it. One Reddit user even questioned why the EA App isn't implemented with the Epic Games Store.
Despite this, some users have expressed that creating an EA account is better than having to open another launcher. Another user mentioned that they don't mind the requirement of an EA account because they likely already have one.
