Battlefield 6 Game Not Released Error | Causes and Main Fixes

The “Battlefield 6 game not released” error is affecting many players, especially those using Steam on PC. This issue typically appears even after the official release and prevents access to the game, causing frustration for players who have preloaded or purchased it.

Causes and Main Fixes

• The error is often due to Steam or the EA App not properly updating the game’s release status.​

• For some, the EA AntiCheat not being correctly installed or being on a different drive from Steam can also trigger this problem.​

• Preloading or issues with the game files that need a patch or update may also cause the error.​

Step-by-Step Solutions

• Completely exit Steam (use Steam > Exit in the client), then relaunch it and try accessing the game again.​​

• Sign out of Steam, then sign back in; check for updates before trying to relaunch the game.​

• Clear Steam’s download cache under Steam > Settings > Downloads > Clear Download Cache and then relaunch Steam.​

• Restart your PC and your internet router to ensure there are no lingering connection issues.​

• If the above doesn’t work, uninstall Battlefield 6 and reinstall it. This has resolved the issue for some users, especially if the preload was corrupted.​

• Make sure EA AntiCheat and Steam are installed on the same drive. If not, consider moving the game or reinstalling on the main drive.​

• For EA App users with installation issues, try deselecting all Battlefield 6 components in Manage > Modify Install, closing the app, and then reselecting and updating the install again.​

Additional Notes

• Sometimes, these errors are server-side and may require waiting for official fixes from EA, particularly at launch time when servers may be overwhelmed.​

• Developers are aware of widespread issues and are working on patches, so periodic updates from EA may eventually resolve the problem without further troubleshooting from the player.​

These steps have helped many users overcome the “game not released” error and gain access to Battlefield 6. If nothing works, patience may be required until an official fix is released.
