A detail that can change the situation. Barely launched, Battlefield 6 is already offering its first major surprise. While more than 750,000 players rushed to the game upon its release on Steam, a little-known Battle Pass mechanic could radically change the way you play. A simple, but demanding trick would indeed allow you to unlock all future Passes without ever going back to the checkout.
The secret? Do not spend your winnings. Electronic Arts, the game’s publisher, has integrated a very special reward into its progression system: “1,100 Battlefield Coins are given to players who complete the entire Season 1 Battle Pass.” However, this figure is not chosen at random: it corresponds precisely to the price of the Battle Pass itself. Which means a very simple thing: “By completing the Battle Pass 100% this season, players will be able to fund the next Season Pass for free.”
An already known system… but effective
Does this strategy remind you of anything? This is no coincidence. Call of Duty has long used an identical mechanic: “You bought it once, completed it completely, and earned enough virtual currency to unlock the next one for free.” EA therefore uses a proven recipe that links loyalty and progression.
The goal is clear: encourage players to invest throughout the season to maximize their rewards, without ever letting go of the controller. And in a context where Battle Royale is increasing, this approach could well make the difference. But be careful: for the plan to work, it is still necessary not to not spend the earned coins in the Cosmetic Item Shop before the next season launches. One mistake in timing, and you have to start all over again.
REDSEC: Electronic Arts’ loyalty machine
With REDSEC, its new Battle Royale mode, EA is aiming for the long term. The publisher has never hidden its ambitions to carve out a place of choice against Warzone, Fortnite or Apex Legends. And this little “gift” offered to players is not just a publicity stunt. “It’s a strategy to retain players season after season.” A strong signal sent to the community: invest your all in each season, and you will be rewarded.
For the most dedicated, this represents much more than a simple cosmetic bonus. It’s a virtuous circle that transforms each completed Pass into an investment for the next one. And in a competitive world like multiplayer FPS, it’s perhaps one of the most effective ways to retain players.
