Nearly a thousand degrees of heat. That means something.
HotUKDeals isn't shy about burying rubbish deals. When something crosses 900 degrees of community heat, it's because real people are buying it and telling their mates to do the same. Battlefield 6 hitting that on a disc copy for PS5 at under £18 is worth paying attention to.
Personally, I'd call this the right price for where the Battlefield series currently sits in most people's minds. Not half bad, not a sure thing. The franchise has had a rocky few years and a lot of players are approaching this one cautiously, which is fair enough.
Who should actually pick this up
If you've got mates who play online shooters and you've been looking for something to throw into the rotation on a Friday night, this is a reasonable shout. Physical disc means you can lend it, sell it on, or bin it without much guilt at under £18. That's the real appeal here.
I'd be more hesitant if you're a solo campaign player. Battlefield has always lived and died on its multiplayer, and if that's not your thing, you'll probably finish the story mode in a weekend and wonder what the fuss was about.
One honest reservation
Stock on deals like this moves fast. The community flagged it, which is great, but it also means it gets picked clean quickly. If you're reading this more than a day or two after it went live, worth checking availability before you get your hopes up. No point in getting excited over something that's already gone.
