Back in the day, EA would make a little extra money from Battlefield by offering Battlefield Premium, a membership that provided instant weapon unlocks, XP boosts and more. Now according to dataminers, this system will be making a return in the future under the name ‘Battlefield Pro'.
As reported by MP1st, dataminers have been combing through the files released through the recent Battlefield Labs playtest. Two things of note came up – the first being a Battlefield Pro subscription. This subscription will include the seasonal battle pass, six instant unlocks, a permanent 10% XP boost, battlepass tier skips and access to new challenges to accelerate your progress further.
Elsewhere, dataminers also uncovered references to a new battle royale mode for the next Battlefield. DICE attempted this before with Battlefield Firestorm, a battle royale mode for Battlefield V, which did not garner much traction.
All of this information comes from files released via Battlefield Labs, a new alpha and beta testing service that invites fans to test out early builds for upcoming game modes, as DICE looks to perfect its content plans ahead of Battlefield 6, which is supposedly due to release later this year, but could slip to 2026.

KitGuru Says: The fact that we are seeing more leaks around monetisation than actual game content feels very on-brand for EA. 3
