The announcement of the free trial came on the same day that Battlefield Studios launched the Battlefield 6 California Resistance update. This adds a new map, Eastwood, along with a "fast-paced" limited-time event mode called Sabotage.

The November 18 update also added a new Gauntlet mission for the Redsec battle royale mode, along with new items called Prepper Stashes, which are now scattered throughout the Fort Lyndon map.

The next phase of Battlefield 6's Season 1 arrives on December 9 with Winter Offensive; this update will add "special seasonal themed content" to the game.

Battlefield 6 launched in October and has reportedly sold more than 10 million copies. Its owner, EA, is in the process of being acquired for $55 billion.
