PlanetSide 2 Double XP Weekend June 2026: Summer Fun Event Runs Through June 16
PlanetSide 2 is running a Double XP event for all players through June 16, 2026. This is part of the Summer Fun promotion that kicked off with the June 11 patch.
If you have been meaning to grind out certification points or level up a new character, this is the best window to do it.
Event Details
- Double XP: June 11 — June 16, 2026
- Availability: ALL players (no membership required)
- Platforms: PC
The Double XP buff applies globally to all XP sources — kills, captures, support actions, and mission completions. Stack it with any active boosts you have for even greater gains.
What Else Is in the Summer Fun Event?
The June 11 patch brought more than Double XP:
Sales Schedule
- June 11-16 — Double XP for All
- June 19 (72h) — Father’s Day Sales: 40% off Infantry Weapons
- July 4-31 — Independence Day 2026: previous items and bundles return for a limited time, 40% off Vehicle Weapons

How to Make the Most of Double XP
Prioritize High-XP Activities
- Alert wins — Continent lock alerts grant massive XP payouts
- Missions — The mission system offers daily and repeatable objectives with good XP
- Support roles — Engineers repairing MAX units and medics reviving in large fights generate consistent XP
- Facility captures — Being present for capture timers gives participation XP
Use Boosts
If you have any XP boosts in your inventory (from membership, bundles, or previous events), use them now. They stack additively with the Double XP event.
