Battlefield 6 has an epic launch bug where it fails to recognize that the game is already installed — EA boss suggests one affected user to ‘refund and buy on Steam’

Battlefield 6 experienced a launch bug where the game failed to recognize that it was already installed for some users who purchased it on the EA App. EA took six hours to acknowledge and fix the issue, causing frustration among players. Battlefield 6 boss Vince Zampella publicly expressed his annoyance at the situation and suggested that affected users refund and buy the game on Steam instead. Steam players also faced issues, with some receiving a "Game not released" message, but workarounds were provided. The launch-day problems have mostly been resolved, and EA is compensating affected players with in-game rewards as an apology.
