Need Official Confirmation on BF6 Steam Upgrade Standard to Phantom Edition
Hi @EADiscussions, @OABattlefield, and EA Support Team,
I’m reaching out because I’m hitting a wall trying to get clear answers about upgrading my Battlefield 6 Standard Edition preordered on Steam, to the Phantom Edition for the additional content (Battlefield Pro Token, Phantom Pack skins, extra XP boosts, etc.). My previous EA Help ticket was deleted without a response, and I’m concerned about missing out on these items with the launch just two days away (October 10, 2025).
Here’s my situation:
- I own the Standard Edition on Steam, preloaded and ready, which includes the Tombstone Pack for preordering.
- I want to upgrade to Phantom Edition to get the exclusive Phantom Pack (Crossbones, Mirage, Specter, Wraith soldier skins, Glimmer Melee Knife, etc.) and the Battlefield Pro Token (Season 1 Battle Pass + 25 Tier Skips).
- There’s no upgrade option visible on Steam’s store or Library page pre-launch, and EA’s FAQ (ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-6/faq) doesn’t mention a post-launch DLC for Steam upgrades.
- Community threads (e.g., Steam Discussions) speculate a ~$30–$40 upgrade pack might drop on launch, but there’s no official word from EA or Steam.
- I’ve seen EA Play Pro ($16.99/month via EA App) offers Phantom access, but I’d prefer a one-time Steam upgrade to avoid dual-launching through the EA App.
My questions for EA/DICE:
- Will there be an official upgrade pack/DLC on Steam post-launch (October 10, 2025) to go from Standard to Phantom Edition? If so, what’s the price, and will it include all Phantom content (Pro Token, Phantom Pack, full XP boosts)?
- If no upgrade exists, is EA Play Pro my only option to access Phantom content? Can you confirm that all unlocked items (Pro Token rewards, Phantom Pack, Deployment Pack) will stay permanently on my Steam Standard Edition after canceling Pro, as stated in this EA Forum thread?
- Why was my EA Help ticket deleted without a reply? How can I ensure a response this time?
- I can not refund as I was gifted the standard edition please help thank you.
