Missing Pre-Order Tombstone Pack

I purchased the Phantom Edition of Battlefield 6 on October 6th 2025 on the EA app. The day the game released I was experiencing the same issues many other players were which was not being able to play on the EA app. After hours of not being able to play, I made a refund request so that I may buy the game on Steam and play there. After seeing none of my Twitch, Beta, or Tombstone bonuses on the Steam app, I refunded that version of the game and decided that I guess I have to wait it out for EA to fix the game on their platform. Upon trying to play the game on the EA app, I was met with a message saying I do not own the game. I then went to the EA help page and closed out my case for the refund since I no longer wanted a refund. However upon repurchasing the game, I no longer have my pre-order Tombstone pack bonuses. I have made several attempts over the last 4 days to contact EA support via chat and email about this issue, and my chats are either suspended early by the agent or I receive no responses via email. I understand that technically I may have refunded the pre-order version of the game, but I hope it is understandable why I made a decision to try and purchase the game on Steam since the EA app wasn't working on launch AND I never was provided any information that refunding the game would remove my pre-order bonuses. I desperately am hoping someone on EA can help understand my issue and resolve it, I will even attach a screenshot of the email I received for pre-ordering the game.

  • I have a similar situation but for PS5. Pre-ordered the game and have been playing since launch. I haven't received any of the Tombstone Pack contents. Contacted EA support twice. First reply I got was to restart the game, which I have been doing since I have been playing for days. Next reply I got was this:

    "Upon checking, since you purchased the game in a different platform - PlayStation, this means that you need to directly reach out to PlayStation Support regarding this matter. We only have a limited visibility if the game is purchased in a different platform. I hope this clarifies."

    I raised another ticket and this is the reply I got:

    "I understand you have contacted us regarding missing rewards from the Phantom edition in Battlefield 6. I want to assure you that you're not alone several players have reported experiencing the same issue.

    Our development team is actively investigating and working on a fix. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. Once this is resolved you will get the rewards added on your account."

    It's just stupid that we can't access the pre-order bonuses when we actually pre-ordered the game. Hopefully this gets resolved soon.

    I’m in similar situation too. I’m on PC and my first preorder was on Steam with Phantom Edition bought on 18 august. Since I wasn't interested in the contents of the Phantom Edition but only in the Tombstone Pack (active on my profile thanks to the preorder), I switched to the standard version of EA App.

    After playing my new purchase with the SAME account that i used on Steam…my Tombstone was disappeared.

    I provided EA with the receipt for my pre-order purchase on Steam, but I haven't received a useful response other than the standard automated reply telling me to restart the game.

    Same scenario for me, pre-ordered the physical phantom edition for ps5, and still not been given access to the tombstone content or recieved any kind of compensation

    I have submitted tickets without any resolve yet, most recent reply actually told me to post on here!!?

    That ontop of the fact that others people are reporting they recieved phantom pack stuff and are on the standard edition - this is seriously feeling like I scam, game has been out long enough that we are already hearing about season 1 drops and I still dont have preorder **bleep**

    I guess I should've bought the standard edition, wtf ea

    Let's put it this way... the release of the Tombstone Pack was poorly handled. It should have been enabled via EA account and not via the store (or in your case, PS5 via preorder code by seller).

    You're luckier on PS5 because you can activate the pack by purchasing a promotional code externally. On PC, since Tombstone is linked to the store that enabled our first preorder, we can no longer enable it even by paying for an extra code.

    I'm only interested in getting my Tombstone Pack back, which was perfectly enabled on my personal EA account when I first launched it from Steam version.

    Im honestly at wits end with this **bleep** game. Pre-ordered on October 8th from gamestop for pc. Was told to come back on launch day to get my code for the ea app download. Game downloaded fine been playing since launch with no issues other then not having my Tombstone rewards. I've had multiple tickets closed saying I didn't preorder even though I have the paper receipts in hand and have sent pictures of them. I would like to think that the game code provided to me by gamestop would incorporate that it was pre-ordered. Im about to give up at this point.

  • It is pretty sad that EA is not requiring Battlefield to honor the pre-order bonuses for those of us affected by it. I was hoping a representative from EA would have responded to this by now. For anyone looking for a temporary workaround, I recommended disputing the charge for the game with your bank so you can get your money back. Until they address this issue, don't let this company keep your hard earned money.

    Did you ever get a code for the Tombstone pack? I'm looking for a resolution as I still haven't gotten mine yet from Amazon
